--><p><i>Casuarina glauca</i> is widely cultivated in many parts of the world. Pistillate trees are very infrequent in the flora.</p><!--
--><p>It is now considered a pest species in Florida because of root suckering. Its identification may be confused by the practice of some Florida nurserymen of grafting scions of <i>Casuarina glauca</i> onto rootstocks from the other two species.</p>
