Bought a Casuarina from the market, forgot the species name!

Post by patrickw »

Bought this tree but i forgot to write down what it was called. Had a search and i'm quite positive it is a casuarina, but am not sure which type. Any assistance on what it is and any tips on care would be much appreciated!

Hi Patrick,

It's a Casuarina cunninghamiana. The pot is an old Aussie hand made one that I was told dates back to the 1970's.

You can view the progression thread here viewtopic.php?f=56&t=9851&p=104892

Good luck with your new tree mate.

Regards,
Steven
