Allocasuarina littoralis, commonly known as Black Sheoak, Black She-oak, or River Black-oak, is an endemic medium-sized Australian tree. The seeds of this species have been found to be a food source for the Glossy Black-Cockatoo. Growing these plants in small stands between open space will help encourage the return of this endangered native bird. Further information is available here.
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.
