Casuarina glauca makes a good windbreak tree and very good for saline soils. Like other Casuarina's, a beautiful feature of this tree is the gentle rustling sound it produces when the weather is windy.

This is a fast growing tree, that returns nitrogen to the soil and is very good for remediating areas affected by salinity and seasonal waterlogging.

Dioecious tree 8–20(-35) m high, frequently producing root suckers; branchlets drooping.
