It is moderately heavy and hard, strong and fairly durable, kiln-seasons well and works and polishes easily, but filler is required. Ahmed SI, Kumar S, Gaur M, 1995. In the tropical dry and mixed deciduous forest of northern and central India, A. lebbeck is typically associated with the commonly dominant species Hardwickia binate and Tectona grandis. In the dry, deciduous scrub forests of southern India, it is often found with Santalum album, other Albizia species, and members of the genera Acacia, Ziziphus, Cassia and Terminalia. It was introduced into the British Caribbean islands in 1782 (Howard, 1954) and it appears in herbarium collections made in 1869 in Martinique, 1871 in Dominican Republic, in 1876 in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, and 1800 in Haiti (Urban, 1898; Rojas-Sandoval and Acevedo Rodríguez, 2015; US National Herbarium).

In: Selection and management of nitrogen-fixing trees. The species can tolerate a wide range of climates and soil types. Trees mature and are able to produce seeds by 4 years of age. This species is thought to occur naturally in coastal forests, monsoonal vine thickets, savannah woodlands and riparian areas in some parts of northern Australia, though it may be a relatively recent introduction to these regions. Parrotta JA, 2002. For larger trees, chemical control is recommended in combination with cutting, by treating stumps with herbicide to prevent regeneration (GISD, 2016; PIER, 2016). Volume 1.

The tree may have been introduced to Egypt from the East Indies by 1807, with later introductions to other parts of Africa (Morton, 1983).

It is also in semi-deciduous microphyll vine thickets on scree slopes of quartz sandstone mountains (Miles et al., 1975), with a closed canopy of emergent trees 9-15 m tall.

Although the species has a very wide natural distribution and in that sense is not endangered, the blurring of boundaries between indigenous populations and those established from exotic germplasm is a conservation issue. Seed can also be dispersed by cattle, squirrels and birds (Lowry et al., 1989; Langeland et al., 2009).
