Re: Casuarina cunninghamiana 1
I was at the Central Coast last weekend and I can assure everyone it was humid.
Hey Rory, don't you have any bonsai pots? Just kidding.

Re: Casuarina cunninghamiana 1
Haha, that reminds me. I have too many.
I’ll be selling the last of my extras at the next market day sale whenever that is.
Yeah the humidity is not great for asthma sufferers either.

I style Bonsai naturally, just as they would appear in the wild.

Re: Casuarina cunninghamiana 1
Not much to report on this one. Repotted and worked the roots back in September and its already pushed roots out the bottom of the pot.
If you look after them, they're like a workhorse. This one hasn't had a lot of sun tho, as those spots were given to Banksia that needed it more, so it hasn't developed as much as other years.
I realize its not quite yet 01.01.2023, but its easier to post that its 2023, so looking back people can easily distinguish that its a year apart. Its only 1 day before the actual date.

Re: Casuarina cunninghamiana 1
Not sure if I'm keeping it in this pot, but I had to urgently repot all my trees due to having full sun, and needing a slower draining mix.
I have a Roman Husmann pot that I may use instead, but for the moment, its in a beautiful Pat Kennedy oval pot (Australia)
The best way to grow most Australian Natives, (in my opinion), is very slowly over time using the clip-and-grow method.
You just never get those natural rugged lines from wiring or anchoring.
