Description
The Standard form of "Cousin It" (Casuarina glauca) is an architecturally striking plant, gracefully grafted atop a rootstock allowing its cascade of green, needle-like foliage to flow towards the ground. This cultivar serves as a compelling centrepiece, immediately capturing attention and bringing unparalleled texture and form to gardens. Given its standout appearance, it's perfect for making bold statements in garden designs, whether it's anchoring a garden bed or standing solitary in a pot.
For optimal growth, "Cousin It" prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soils. If situating in sandy or suboptimal grounds, enriching with a soil conditioner proves beneficial. During warmer periods, like Birak and Bunuru (summer), it appreciates more frequent watering. Fertilise with a slow-release native fertiliser during Makuru (winter) and, if required, perform light pruning to shape or remove any unwanted growth.
