Casuarinaceae

I did not like its nebari.
Last week I had cut it, rearrange it, cut more roots and repotted it in a training pot.
Next, it will have a new haircut.

We call it the She-Oak down here. The needles? or folage is extremely long. Haven't seen one bonsaid down here yet. Good luck David

Casuarinaceae is the botanical name, the common name is Casuarina, for obvious reasons it is also called Horse Tail and of course in Australia She-Oak. Thank you. __________________ Shalom (Peace), Moshe. Colors are an optic illusion of light – As viewers for the bonsai creation. M.S.C.

I'm really curious how, if at all, you can reduce the needles/folage. From my understanding this does not grow like a pine tree, ie. doesn't grow needles. Keep me posted if you can on its development. Thanks David

You will find two photos of beautiful Casuarina bonsai in Professor Amy Liang book, "The Living Art of Bonsai", excellent book. __________________ Shalom (Peace), Moshe.
