[Category 2] Allocasuarina littoralis - 1 months training

[timbrown13]

Species Allocasuarina littoralis
Height 15cm
Width 15cm
1 month in training

January this year, I brought this Allocasuarina littoralis seedling from my local indigenous nursery. It remains in the 15cm plastic pot I bought it in, although I did put a wire around the tap root to encourage new root growth and death of the long tap root.

In April 2011, I decided to wire it in a hard bend like I had seen at the local primary school while voting.

I broke the trunk.
Can you see where? I like the result. If I was only game enough to do this to all my trees.

Today it looks like this.

That break did survive. I am leaving the branches on the trunk to thicken the trunk. They might be useful later, I'll let you know.

Thanks for looking at my entry.

Cheers
