Abstract
Casuarina glauca Sieb, ex Spreng (Casuarinaceae family) is a tall tropical tree. Its natural habitat is centered on Australia and consists of a narrow belt extending from Bega in New South Wales to Rock-Hampton in Queensland (National Research Council 1984). Casuarina glauca is adapted to high soil moisture and salt concentrations. It is suitable for estuarine bank protection, sand dune revegetation, farm windbreaks, and hillside stabilization plantings. One of the greatest uses of Casuarina is the production of firewood for the tropics. In comparison to other fuelwood crop species, Casuarina ranks well for calorific value in relation to wood volume (about 5000kcal/kg).
