Allocasuarina monilifera ‘Red Fox’ is a striking, fine-foliaged Australian native shrub known for its soft, needle-like branchlets and rusty-red new growth that gives it its name. Ideal for native gardens, low hedging, or as a feature plant, it thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils, including sandy or rocky sites. Drought-tolerant once established and low-maintenance, it requires minimal watering—just occasional deep watering during extended dry periods. Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage dense growth.

Size at maturity: approximately 2.5m high and 2m wide
