Gray she-oak, a plant often cultivated for various purposes, enjoys a broad distribution. It is native to Australasia but has been introduced to regions in Asia, Africa, North and South America, as well as several island nations where it thrives in local climates. While generally managed in its introduced range, there is evidence suggesting that gray she-oak may sometimes be considered invasive in certain areas, particularly on islands, where it has the potential to impact native ecosystems mildly. Despite this, the cultivation of gray she-oak remains widespread due to its adaptability and utility.
