The habit of having separate male and female plants is called dioecious. The flowers are unisexual with male flowers, a segmented golden spike 4 to 10cm long, on male trees, and female flowers are condensed into a rounded head or small cone on female trees, flowers often appearing in winter. Its foliage is unusual as what we see as leaves are stems or branchlets with chlorophyll, and the actual leaves are reduced to a ring of minute sheaths around each stem. The drooping sheoak is a rough barked tree often around 5 metres high, of rounded compact form, although the females can be more spreading because of the weight of the cones pulling the branches downwards. The second name is the author, Lawrence Alexander Sidney Johnson, 1925–1997, who renamed it with the accepted plant name of Allocasuarina verticillata. The abbreviated name in brackets (Lam.) refers to the author of the original plant name, Jean Baptiste Antoine Pierre Monnet de Lamarck,1744–1829, who named this plant Casuarina verticillata. In Latin Allo means other, casuarina from Malay for Casuari meaning the foliage habit is similar to the cassowary birds feathers, and Latin verticillata refers to the leaves being arranged in a ring around the stem.
The Genus and species names are Allocasuarina verticillata (Lam.) L.A.S. The trees common name, drooping sheoak, refers to its well-defined habit of drooping branchlets, she meaning its female form, and oak referring to its semi durable wood, not quite as durable as the European oak. But as a shelter on hot days or in cold windy conditions it was ideal.ĭrooping sheoaks occur across south eastern Australia, in coastal sand soils and inland rocky sites, generally mixed with other species or sometimes as exclusive stands, as on the cattle farmers property. The farmer said she doesn’t leave the cattle in amongst the trees for too long, even though they were adult trees and quite robust with thicker bark, too much rubbing by cows would damage the trees. The Murray Greys enjoyed the sense of shelter and protection as well. Immediately you could feel the calm difference, the other worldliness, the dreamy atmosphere from the whistling of the leaves so characteristic of sheoaks. The lady cattle farmer was showing me around the property, saying “We have a special place down here, and the cows like it as well” as she led me into a stand of drooping sheoak trees. Murray Grey beef cattle were looking at us inquisitively as we walked past their paddock. Male, on left, and female sheoak trees growing together.
