agreed

Definitely a pine but i dont know my pines so im not sure what species.

weeping mexican pine.?
the needle looks too smooth to be a casuarina

some kind of terestrial jelly fish!?
just kidding
looks like pines to me,too.

It is definitely a pine - needles in pairs from a sheath. Nothing like casuarina. There are hundreds of species of pine and I think there are probably other ling needled pines but the only one I am familiar with is P. patula - Mexican Weeping pine already mentioned by Dumper so that's my guess too.

yeah i do think it is defanately a pine i guess i will find out when it gets older, cheers simo

I realize you have chop it off... do you have a picture of the cut off needle? like this


Let me know if i cannot post this picture here and i'll remove it since there's a "tag" on it

if the end growth look like this. then it's a mexican weeping pine.
if it look similar... it's 100% a pine but not sure what sort.

no i did no have a picture when i found it, before i chopped the top off. cheers

Definite pinus patula, mexican weeping pine. I have 3 of these they make nice bonsai and are easy pines to grow
