Note that Casuarina is a flowering plant, not a pine!

You're wecome. I'm very familiar with the trees. Starting a century ago they were used extensively in Florida as wind breaks and to stablize shorelines. There is currently a state-mandated program to eradicate the trees as an invasive species.

thank you a bunch!
