Report an issue with this species
Allocasuarina torulosa is a slender, dioecious tree with drooping branchlets and scale-like leaves. Its fine, pendulous foliage adds a weeping appearance and turns bronze when flowering. It is fast-growing, tolerant of moderate frosts, and its fallen cladodes create a soft mulch layer.
