Casuarina equisetifolia, Australian Pine
Michael G. Andreu, Melissa H. Friedman, and Robert J. Northrop
Australian pine was originally planted in Florida in the late 1800's as a windbreak and for shade. But soon thereafter it was spreading without help from humans. Today it is considered a category I invasive species in Florida, and the Division of Plant Industry strictly prohibits possessing, transporting, and cultivating this species.
