Drooping Sheoak allocasuarina Verticillata seeds x100
These stoic, long lived trees can reach heights of 5m-15m and live to 200 years old.
Fast growing when young and slower as they age, they are evergreen and reasonably fire tolerant.
They are nitrogen fixers and do very well in poor, sandy soil.
Excellent for wind breaks.
when you grow these trees you will get either a male that will flower into golden flowing hair or a female that produces the oblong ping-pong ball sized cones. The Thin, thread likes tendrils (not a true leaf but a modified branchlet called a cladodes) were chewed by first nations people when water was scarce to satiate thirst. The young cones of the female plant were soaked in water to be used as a tangy drink.
Watching the Golden tendrils of the male sheoak blowing in the wind all in unison really does create a feeling of serenity.
When germinating use half low phosphorus soil +half course river sand.
Dont soak them all together as the seeds tend to clump.
