Plant Description

Casuarina ball plant, also known as she oak or Australian pine, is a type of tree native to Australia and other parts of Southeast Asia. The plant is known for its needle-like leaves, which are actually modified branchlets, and its cylindrical fruiting cones. Casuarina ball plants are popular in landscaping and horticulture for their unique appearance and ability to tolerate drought and poor soil conditions. They are often grown as ball specimens, which means they are pruned and shaped into specific forms, such as cones or spirals.

To care for a casuarina ball plant, it's important to plant it in well-draining soil and to water it regularly, especially during dry periods. The plant can also benefit from occasional fertilization with a balanced fertilizer. Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. It's important to use sharp pruning shears and to cut back to a healthy bud or lateral shoot. Overall, casuarina ball plants are a beautiful and unique addition to any landscape or garden, but they do require some specific care to thrive.
