PLANT PROFILE

Allocasuarina littoralis – Black She Oak is a hardy evergreen native tree suited to a wide range of Australian landscapes. With a mature height of 5 to 8 metres, it develops an upright form with fine, dark green, needle-like foliage and a soft, flowing canopy. Ideal for windbreaks, screening, and erosion control, it also improves soil health through nitrogen-fixing roots.

They look excellent in rural blocks, native gardens, or bushland-style plantings where tough, drought-tolerant structure is needed. Female plants produce red flowers in winter followed by small, woody reddish-brown cones, adding subtle seasonal interest.

Thanks to its adaptability to poor or sandy soils, Allocasuarina littoralis – Black She Oak is commonly used in revegetation projects, low-water gardens, and coastal zones. With minimal maintenance and year-round coverage, Allocasuarina littoralis – Black She Oak delivers strong environmental performance and dependable visual structure without requiring high input.
