The River Oak is an evergreen tree with fine greyish green needle-like foliage that grows to a height of 10–35 m with a spread of about 10 metres. trees are usually found in sunny locations along stream banks and swampy areas. It's widely recognised as an important tree for stabilising riverbanks and for soil erosion prevention accepting wet and dry soils. The foliage is quite palatable to stock.
If you have lots of Casuarina cunninghamiana on your water ways and are are keen to collect seed for your local Landcare nursery please contact Kath.
Landcare nursery managers within YAN are requesting regional landholders who have large numbers of mature plants, which are part of the YAN Climate Ready list, to consider collecting local seed when the seed matures in coming months. If you are keen to assist in this venture please email Kath.
