That is a Casuarina cunnighamiana, the River She Oak, or Australian Beefwood. Very polular in East Africa, more amenity than commercial. J

has been almost a year on this post and have not got my answer untill now i was flipping through the book Conserving Forest Biodiversity and saw a short tree that looked like what i saw on that tv show almost a year ago. Read the caption and it is a grass tree (Xanthorrhea spp.) according to the caption. So all i have is a common name and Genus but the pic is what i saw the trunk looks like a palm of some sort but i did not see that originally, but the needles are like longleaf pine in the pic at least. With a large bud like a candle on a longleaf. Needles appear to be 24"+ .

Mystery solved!

I would never have guessed such a thing existed.
