Sheokes grow in a variety of soils and are one of the best trees for insectivorous – birds, bats and other insects and are very easy to establish. A great species to mix with others in windbreaks and screens, and tolerates coastal and windy conditions. Grows some of the best firewood and timber for wood turning.
