It commonly lives more than 500 years and occasionally more than 1,200 years. The bark on young trees is thin, smooth, gray, and covered with resin blisters.

Allocasuarina decaisneana is a dioecious tree that typically grows to 10–16 m (33–52 ft) high and 3–8 m (9.8–26.2 ft) wide. Its trunk has deeply furrowed, corky bark when mature.
The leaves are arranged in opposite decussate pairs or whorls of three; in adulthood they are scale-like, 1–2.5 mm (1 ⁄ 16 – 1 ⁄ 8 in) long (up to 5 mm) and 1–1.5 mm broad. The cones are berrylike , 7–15 mm ( 1 ⁄ 4 – 9 ⁄ 16 in) wide, green when young and maturing to orange-brown with a whitish waxy bloom,.
