The hybrid seems to be more resistant to heart rot than A. mangium but tends to be more shrub-like. Altitudinal range is from sea level to about 100 meters, with an upper limit of 780 meters. It is typically found in the humid, tropical lowland climatic zone characterized by a short dry season and a mean annual rainfall between 1446 and 2970 mm. Acacia mangium can tolerate a minimum annual rainfall of 1000 mm. Though considered an evergreen species, A. mangium does not grow continuously throughout the year.
Growth seems to slow or cease in response to the combination of low rainfall and cool temperatures.
