Technically a pest, or in this case a weed, is something that grows out of place. Most often it is an introduced species although that would not be the case with the accacias.
As I am not familiar with this wattle I don't know why it in particular is regarded that way. In fact I didn't know it had this reputation. Camphor Laurel is another example of something that has almost a noxious weed status, although not normally amongst woodworkers .

I have a lot of Black Wattles around me here, they are a pest here because they come up as regrowth, and if you let them be, they get fairly big and after 10 or 20 years they seem to just die.
I have just cut 6 down behind my shed, before they fell on the shed. I have cut up some for future use, and Troy is coming around to take away a ute-load soon.

Thanks, seems weeds have the same problem everywhere.... I always thought a 'weed' was a plant with a people problem. Truly a great color piece of timber!
