Technical information

Height: 8-12m x 4m, Width: 2-3m

Habit & Growth rate: Allocasuarina littoralis is one of the most widespread species in eastern Australia, with a latitudinal range that extends from tip of Cape York Peninsula to Southern parts of Tasmanian. A. littoralis is known for growth near the coast but does very well inland. A. littoralis is a nitrogen fixing tree, growth is relatively fast and upright. Does best on well drained sites, not tolerant of water logging. Tolerates skeletal to shallow soil depths.

Foliage: Would make a useful windbreak, shelter belt tree, screen or hedge. In the urban environment could be used as a street tree in particular where height restriction exist and the fact it is tolerant of dry periods and would do better than other species requiring more regular irrigation.

Comments:

All plant dimensions are estimates only and ultimate size and growth rates will depend on growing conditions, particularly when used in some urban environments.
