}}Casuarina cunninghamiana is a she-oak species of the genus Casuarina. The native range in Australia extends from Daly River in the Northern Territory, north and east in Queensland and eastern New South Wales.[1][2]

Description

The River Oak is an attractive evergreen tree with fine greyish green needle-like foliage that grows to a height of {{convert|10|–|35|m|ft|abbr=on}} with a spread of about {{convert|10|m|foot}}.[1][3] The trunk is usually erect, with dense rough bark. Flowers are reddish-brown in the male and red in the female.[1] Cones are small, nearly round to elongated and about {{convert|10|mm|inch}} across.[1]

Trees are usually found in sunny locations along stream banks and swampy areas.[1] It's widely recognised as an important tree for stabilising riverbanks and for soil erosion prevention accepting wet and dry soils. The foliage is quite palatable to stock.[2] C. cunninghamiana is frost tolerant down to around {{convert|-8|C|F}} and is widely used effectively as a screening plant. It is useful on windy sites and is also suited to coastal areas. C. cunninghamiana has been introduced into several other countries for the purpose of agroforestry.[3]

There are two subspecies:

  • C. cunninghamiana subsp. cunninghamiana. Large tree to {{convert|35|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall. Eastern New South Wales, north and east Queensland.[1][3]
  • C. cunninghamiana subsp. miodon. Small tree to {{convert|12|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall. Daly River and Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory and the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland.[1][3]

The species has many common names including River Oak, River She-oak or Creek Oak.[2]

Invasive species

Casuarina cunninghamiana is an invasive species in the Everglades in Florida[4] and in South Africa.[5]
