The Allocasuarina littoralis, popularly termed the 'Black She Oak', is a hardy, evergreen Australian native tree that offers both aesthetic and ecological benefits. Typically growing between 5-8 meters in height, its fine, needle-like foliage produces a soft, weeping appearance. Often used for windbreaks or screen planting, this adaptable tree is also praised for its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil and assist in preventing erosion. It produces reddish-brown cones, and during winter, female trees bear tiny red flowers.
