Hard and sturdy, Casuarina equisetifolia wood is used for a variety of applications. It is used in furniture making, construction, and traditional boat building in some areas.

Because Casuarina equisetifolia can tolerate high-saline coastal environments, it is an important plant for stabilizing sand dunes and reducing coastal erosion.
