Casuarina Cunninghamiana 3

The above picture was taken on 21 October 2013. Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of when I purchased it in April 2013. I was so anxious to cut it hard and watch, but there was absolutely no growth on this trunk when it was cut, and was just a stump, and now, going very strong and looking beautiful. Many, many options to choose from, so will start to take a look soon at which shoot to make the new leader. This was the thickest and last of these stock that Ray Nesci had. It is about 2.5cm thick at the base.
