Allocasuarina littoralis - Black She Oak, Foliage
Allocasuarina littoralis – Black She Oak, Foliage

With an attractive weeping habit, Allocasuarina littoralis, commonly called the Black She-oak is a useful landscaping tree.

Best described as having a natural upright habit, the mature bark is very dark, fissured and gives a textural appearance.

This is a fast growing tree which makes it valuable in a range of landscaping projects. It is also a species that fixes nitrogen into the soil.

With a natural habitat from the east coast of Tasmania and along coastal ranges areas from Victoria to Queensland this is a very adaptable and easy Allocasuarina species.

Care

Very easy care once established as long as drainage is good. It is moderately drought tolerant, and will cope with frosts.

Landscaping Uses

Excellent as a windbreak tree, it attracts native birds to the garden and the trunk with its deep fissured bark is also suited to growing some epiphytic orchids.

Propagation

Easy from seed.
