This week in our special blog content in the footsteps of trees on every continent: She-Oak

This week in our special content in the footsteps of trees on every continent throughout the year, we are focusing on all aspects of the She-Oak tree, also known as Casuarina, a tree species native to Oceania.

The She-oak tree has a rare beauty. Its rarity is that it has male and female flowers. Every year the male flowers turn red and release their pollen. Female flowers form small red seed cones.

The needle-like leaves of the tree, which is often seen in Australia, are between 15 cm and 30 cm long. In its natural habitat, she-oak trees can reach a height of over 30 meters and have a green, woody structure and cone-like fruits that contain a single seed. In some species of the she-oak tree, there is no harm in consuming its fruit, while in other species, the fruit of the tree may be harmful.

Known for its ability to remain evergreen throughout the year, she-oak is resistant to polluted weather conditions, wind, cold, and drought thanks to its structure. The she-oak tree, which is very effective in binding nitrogen to the soil, is preferred for enriching poor soils.

She-oak, which is frequently found in parks and gardens, especially in its homeland of Australia, is highly resistant to wind and often takes on the task of screening the destructive effects of wind. The she-oak tree, which has a very high potential to grow in harsh conditions, must be protected against frosting that may occur despite this strong structure.
