Desert oak Meaning: Resurrection Allocasuarina decaisneana | Central Australia Kurkara (Pit.) have deeply furrowed, cork-like bark, which is fire-retardant. Slow-growing but fast to develop a taproot that can reach subsurface water at depths over ten meters. Mature trees form a large, bushy canopy. Many found in the central desert are likely to be more than one thousand years old.

Daniel Thorman, Rise of the Tong: A LitRPG
