Cousin It Casuarina (Standard) - Casuarina glauca ‘Cousin It’
On the ground this is a hugging native mat of fine weeping foliage; lifted onto a clear stem it becomes a living mop head that hangs almost to the ground in soft green threads. Casuarina glauca ‘Cousin It’ is a prostrate selection of the coastal swamp oak, and it inherits that parent's remarkable tolerance of salt spray, wind, sandy soil and periodically wet ground. As a standard it gives designers a native alternative to a clipped ball, with movement and softness instead of hard geometry.
Why Cousin It
Weeping Curtain: Fine needle-like foliage falls straight down from the head in a dense, brushed skirt that moves in any breeze.
Coastal Hardiness: Salt spray, sand and onshore wind do not trouble it, which very few formal standards can claim.
Wet and Dry Tolerance: The swamp oak parentage means it accepts periodically wet soil, yet it copes with dry once established.
No Shearing Needed: The head forms its own rounded shape, needing only a light tidy rather than regular clipping.
Clean Habit: It rarely flowers or sets seed, so there is no fruit or seed drop over paving.
Ideal Applications
Entry Urns: Matched pairs in large pots either side of a door, where the skirt spills over the rim.
Coastal Front Gardens: A formal accent in an exposed seaside position where clipped exotics burn.
Poolside Feature: Soft, movement-rich form beside water with minimal litter.
Repeated Path Accents: A line of standards above low native groundcovers sets a calm, regular rhythm.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.2 to 1.5m in a repeated row
Spacing (feature/avenue): 2 to 3m
Best Planting Season: Autumn or spring in temperate districts, year round in frost free coastal gardens
Soil & Drainage: Adaptable, from coastal sand to clay loam; it tolerates brief waterlogging and mildly saline soil that would kill most ornamentals
Establishment Care: Water twice weekly through the first summer while the head fills out, then weekly in dry periods. Mulch with coarse bark kept clear of the stem, and stake the trunk until it thickens enough to carry the weight of the head in wind.
