AS OF FEB 2023 WE WILL ONLY BE SHIPPING ON TUESDAYS FOR ALL ITEMS PAID FOR ON THE PREVIOUS WEEK UP UNTIL TUESDAY. Seeds of Casuarina equisetifolia, commonly known as coastal she-oak, horsetail she-oak, ironwood, beach sheoak, beach casuarina or whistling tree. It is a small to medium-sized, tree with scaly or furrowed bark on older specimens, drooping branchlets, the leaves reduced to scales in whorls of 7 or 8. The true leaves are reduced to tiny scales held in whorls, surrounding evergreen grey-green needle-like twigs. This gives rise to the pine-like appearance of the tree. It is a tree with a rather open canopy, up to 120 ft tall. Flowers are generally dioicious (male and female flowers on separate plants) although occasionally some trees are monoecious. Hardy in zones 9-11.A seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These factors are totally out of my control and are your responsibility and risk. Consequentially, I cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform properly regardless of conditions or the buyer’s methods or mistakes. Thank you. Seed Orders: Germination instructions will be shipped with order.
