Heres a pic just to add weight to Ants post and to demonstrate the usefulness of this genus as bonsai subjects. This tree was purchased as tube stock wired and grown for 5 years. I will probably start work on some branches in late spring. It was potted out of the growing container 2 months ago and is not budding in some useful places.

Beautiful trunk Craig !!! The bark is very nice! Like ive said earlier, Food ,Sun and water like there's no tomorrow. Doesnt mean you always get what you want but it wont happen on the passive side either, IMO.

Re: casuarina litoralis
The rejects are masterpieces in the making
They are biding their time until that spark of inspiration turns a plow horse into a thoroughbred.
Now if I can just find that spark
