Learn About Your New Allocasuarina torulosa - River She Oak
Allocasuarina torulosa – River She Oak is a hardy Australian native tree growing 12–20 metres tall with a 6–8 metre spread. Its fine, needle-like foliage and upright, weeping form create a distinctive presence in large landscapes.
They look excellent in rural settings, council projects, or along waterways, where resilience and structure are essential. Allocasuarina torulosa – River She Oak thrives in full sun, poor soils, and coastal conditions, making it ideal for erosion control, windbreaks, and revegetation.
Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, Allocasuarina torulosa – River She Oak also supports biodiversity with its late-winter flowers and woody seed cones.

Post Planting Care
When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:
- Immediately After Planting:
Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil. - First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth. - Irrigation Systems:
If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering. - Weather Considerations:
Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons. - Ongoing Care:
After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.
