The plant designated as black wattle has a widespread geographical distribution that spans across several continents and major regions, both within and beyond its native range. Besides thriving in its natural habitat, black wattle has been introduced to a multitude of areas where, in certain locales, it is sometimes thought to be somewhat invasive, with potential implications for the local ecosystems. Its presence is prominent in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in regions with a temperate climate. Although black wattle can adapt to varying environments, care should be exercised as it may have an impact on ecosystems, mainly in locations where it was not originally found.
