Species: Allocasuarina monilifera
Common name: Necklace Sheoak
Age: 11 years
Size: 70cm x 80cm
History: Nursery propagated from seed, this plant was plucked from the sales area and spirited away for a possible bonsai future. It has only beeen styled for about a year and has lost some branches to simplify the design as well as the branchlets wired in a (dancing?) windswept style. The necklace sheoak is a shrub to about 3m in the wild, and is found from cold moist hills to drier windswept coastal heaths. The foliage has a bluish tint and female plants have small red fluffy flowers. I can't recall this one flowering so I guess it's a boy!

Re: Category 1 Dancing Necklace Sheoak
What a beautiful tree, it really captures a wonderful feeling. Hopefully its a late developing girl and will produce flowers later down the track. Nice one.
