Allocasurina verticellata I think
Here is a lovely tree we have on our property, long walk uphill from our house, and it rained on me, so hope you like it. I need at least another 100 years practice before I would even attempt to mimic this one in bonsai, lol.
Would love to see someone more expert have a go tho!You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Allocasurina verticellata I think
i think you could mimc this one quite easily mate it may look quite intricate in the bending and twisting branches but with a little bit of time and thought it would be quite simple i think i might even give it a go
the basic trunk line is quite simple the branch is the technical bit but wiring it and doing little by little with the twists and bends i think it is an acheivable goal
would make a sweet bujingi australian style

Makes me feel a tad inadequate that it takes me so much work to produce somethng even half decent, and this just grewed. Many of the casurinas are dramatically beautiful, this is my favourite tho. There is a lovely eucalypt nearby, where live branches have actually grown around long fallen branches, really gives you a sense of time..
Glad to know I own an 'imperial bonsai', just havent found the pot for it yet,

yes mate i do like it!!! just gotta find big enough and old enough material, that you can carve and grow a new branch that is supple enough to bend me twist me.bunjin australian style ummmmmmmmm is that politically correct. careful pup's gonna see that!
greth plant a bunch of seeds in the ground, we'll set up when they're old enough and ready.

Re: Allocasurina verticellata I think
yea i'll cop that off pup , but ya know, we got our own australian style with natives and there are trees resembling bujin in our natives so i figured that would be the best way to describe it.
i mean take a look at a lot of our gum trees, how much do they remind you of bunjin yet they are purely an australian icon
this casuarina reminds me of that too

I recon oz natives have a gothic style, Take a look at night at some of our contorted trees, they look so gothic. Mabe gothic isnt in the bonsai catagory, but we are in oz . Our natives dont come from Japan, its true blue style. And with our harsh climates, who wouldnt look that way, hey.

Done, we sealed a paddock from stock a couple of years ago, there are seedlings up to 6' high there. Oh, I also have a number of these in pots, including one which broke off and is about 2 years old. Was growing them to revegetate this area a bit, as you see the back paddocks really need it. There was no new generation of Casurinasgreth plant a bunch of seeds in the ground, we'll set up when they're old enough and ready.
Now we are considering moving house, sigh.

you will still be doing the australian landscape a favour even if you do move, you could always be driving past in twenty years to see a grove and you can say, we planted that

Here we are to kick your a#$e. I have said in the past with all the discussion, on what constitutes Australian style. Our Gum trees along with our Banksia's are Iconic trees of this great Continent.jamie111 wrote:yea i'll cop that off pup , but ya know, we got our own australian style with natives and there are trees resembling bujin in our natives so i figured that would be the best way to describe it.

When I comes to STYLE. As Greth and I have shown our Natives do grow in all the styles depicted in the Books from the Northern Hemisphere.
So there we have Australian style. A beautiful example and a Casuarinaceae species.
Thank you Greth, now I would suggest a Pat Kennedy commissioned pot Pup

A truly inspirational tree and lovely scenery too Greth (when your back is against the power pole )
I look forward to seeing the 1 to 10 scale reproduction you make of it.
Thanks for sharing with us mate!

If it is too good for the literati contest, it will make a great garden feature. Dig it up LoL.
Always we hope someone else has the answer.
