$7.00

Allocasuarina huegeliana commonly known as rock she-oak is a graceful and hardy WA native, reaching heights of 4-10 metres. It features fine, dark green needle-like branchlets and a narrow, upright form making it well-suited for screening, wind breaks, habitat corridors, shelterbelts and planting into a dry landscape.

This species is drought tolerant, once established, and thrives in sandy or gravelly soils, including rocky outcrops. Its dense canopy provides valuable habitat and nesting sites for birds, while its deep roots help stabilise soil and prevent erosion.

She-oaks make a wonderful wispy sound when the wind blows through their foliage.
