Grow a fast, adaptable evergreen with these River She-Oak (Casuarina cunninghamiana) seeds. Known for its soft, pendulous needle-like foliage and narrow upright habit, this versatile tree makes an excellent windbreak, screen, shade tree, or street tree.

Native to Australia, River She-Oak thrives along riverbanks but adapts easily to a wide range of soils, including sandy, gravelly, alkaline, and poor soils. It tolerates heat, drought, salt, wind, and urban conditions, making it ideal for challenging landscapes and coastal plantings.

This nitrogen-fixing tree improves soil quality and is widely used in agroforestry for shelterbelts protecting crops and livestock. It can be pruned, pollarded, or coppiced to create dense screening. It is also valued for timber, fuelwood, and even bonsai cultivation.
