Description
Casuarina Cunninghamiana is a relatively slow growing tree that produces good timber and provides excellent windbreak in paddocks, streets, parks and extra large properties, growing to 35 metres, while also ideal for Bonsai.  It will grow in frosty areas and hot ones too, up to a height of 1000m above sea level, even tolerating temperatures below -5C.

With no pretreatment necessary, seeds start to germinate in about 5 days if grown at 25-35°C and there are about 700 viable seeds per gram.  Casuarina Cunninghamiana will grow in just about any soils including well-drained, waterlogged and mild to moderately saline.
