They fix atmospheric nitrogen through a symbiotic association with the bacteria, Frankia. Casuarina wood with a high calorific value is a renowned fuel wood in the tropics. In India Casuarina equisetifolia was introduced during the 19th century and is now estimated to be under cultivation in around half a million hectares mainly in the Peninsular region. Apart from fuel, the wood is extensively used for papermaking and of late is a preferred choice for biomass-based power generation. The straight cylindrical stems find use in rural house building and as scaffolds in construction sites. It is the principal species for developing shelterbelts in coastal areas and windbreaks for protecting agricultural crops. It also plays a key role in reclaiming mined areas and afforesting nutrient-poor sites. Uses Poles; firewood, pulp, fine charcoal, Windbelt, and erosion control finest species for mine reclamation Review: Not Good - From the entire lot of seeds not a single seedling grew. Whether it was my mistake or something horribly wrong with the seeds, you are the best judge. I tried 3 different methods to grow the seedlings, but failed on all occasions. Actually I just wanted 15 seedlings only as a host Plant for my sandalwood plants. Now I am left with no option but to buy them. Unfortunately the lowest price on the net is Rs. 299 for each.
