Australian native tree with a rich cultural and botanical history.
Acacia acuminata is a hardy, aromatic tree native to Western Australia, where it thrives across a range of dry landscapes. Its wood smells like raspberry jam when cut, giving it its common name.
This plant is reported to contain the indole alkaloid DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) derived from L-tryptophan, along with trace amounts of β-carbolines. Alkaloid content varies widely depending on source and conditions—reports suggest 0.5–1.2% in the phyllodes and 0.6–1.5% in the bark.
Acacia acuminata is revered as a powerful plant teacher, and is believed to have a long history of use among Indigenous Australian communities. Acacias more broadly have provided food, fibre, tools, and medicine to First Nations people for millennia.
