Black Sheoak

Allocasuarina littoralis, River Black Oak

Black Sheoak is an evergreen tree native to the East coast of Australia, identified by its long, fine, pine-needle like foliage. It also features red Spring flowers followed by seed cones. Black Sheoak is relatively fast-growing tree, and grows very well both inland and in coastal zones. Will reach heights of up to 10 meters.

Black Sheoak can often succeed where other more thirsty plants will struggle. Its growth is fastest where full sun is provided, and it will tolerate relatively poor soil.
