Eucalyptus acmenoides is naturally found in Australia from Rockhampton in Queensland to Sydney, New South Wales. It commonly grows along the coast and up to an altitude of 1000m (3000ft) in open forests, but is also found on drier ridges where the tree becomes stunted.

It prefers moist moderately fertile soils that is well drained in a sunny open position and is drought tender but mildly frost resistant

White Mahogany is grown for its timber and habit. It is planted in forest settings or parks as a lawn specimen for shade. It is unsuitable for a domestic garden and establishes in 3 to 5 years. It is suitable for coastal regions preferring a humid atmosphere.ID 1862

Note:
The timber is strong with a fine textured interlocking grain, durable and relatively termite resistant. It is used for poles or railway sleepers and as general construction material for houses or wharfs.
