casuarina litoralis

Post by craigw60 »

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.

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 :lol: :lol: :lol:
