Product Details
Overview & Specifications
River She Oak - Casuarina cunninghamiana
Casuarina cunninghamiana is one of Australia's most structurally capable native trees, fast-establishing, deeply resilient, and built for scale. At mature height, it delivers commanding presence, year-round screening, and serious wind protection across large and demanding landscapes.
Why River She Oak
Native provenance: Naturally adapted to Australian climates, soils, and conditions with no forcing required.
Rapid establishment: Among the fastest-growing natives available at advanced size, delivering immediate canopy and cover.
Wind and exposure tolerance: Performs reliably in exposed, coastal, and high-wind corridors where other species struggle.
Evergreen structure: Fine-textured, weeping foliage provides consistent screening and texture across all seasons.
Low intervention: Once sited correctly, requires minimal ongoing input, a sound choice for large-scale or remote planting programs.
Ideal Applications
Windbreaks and shelterbelts: A proven performer for protecting rural, coastal, and peri-urban properties from prevailing winds.
Large-scale screening: Planted in runs, it forms tall, dense natural barriers for privacy and boundary definition.
Acreage and rural landscapes: Well-suited to expansive properties where scale, resilience, and low maintenance are priorities.
Riparian and erosion-prone sites: Widely used along waterways and disturbed land for stabilisation and revegetation.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 3–5m

Planting Season: Autumn to spring
Soil & Drainage: Adaptable to a wide range of soils including sandy, loamy and clay soils; tolerates periodic flooding and poor drainage; prefers moist to wet conditions near waterways
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first two years until fully established, particularly during dry spells. Mulch around the root zone to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk.
