Casuarina glauca 'Greenwave' pbr

Common Name:
Greenwave Sheoak

Description:
Casuarina glauca 'Greenwave' PBR is a compact, low-maintenance Australian native shrub known for its soft, fine, pine-like foliage and dense, mounded form. Unlike its taller relatives, 'Greenwave' has been bred specifically for low-growing, tidy landscape applications, making it ideal for hedging, borders, and native gardens. The foliage is a rich green with a soft, weeping habit that moves beautifully in the breeze, offering both textural interest and calming movement. This variety is extremely hardy and performs reliably in Melbourne’s climate, tolerating drought, coastal conditions, frost, and even periods of waterlogging. It requires little maintenance once established and responds well to pruning, making it suitable for formal shaping or left to grow naturally. ‘Greenwave’ is also a fantastic option for erosion control and tough sites where other plants may struggle.
