Any updated pictures or growth on this one. Looks like a great start.

hey buddyman, sorry i haven't posted an update sooner its been a while since ive been on the forum!
i gave this one a repot into a diatomite mix and into a pot, it had a terrible root system and quite a few curl grubs!!!
i removed the ones i could see after the re pot i soaked in a seasol bath overnight, the following morning i found another one hiding under a piece of moss you can see it hiding there in photo 4, it sulked for quite a while after the repot but since this warm weather in the last 2 weeks it had pushed a lot of new growth.
ill leave it to grow freely till jan to gain some health then give it a good prune

Yeah, nice update. They are sometimes a finicky species. I have seen so many that I thought were simply gone, but then after a month, the little green shoots come from out of the 'ashes', and suddenly the tree regains its vigor. Well.... I should say, it takes quite a while for torulosa to regain their vigor actually, from my experience. But keep us updated, hope it all goes well. I love literati styles in casuarina.
