Casuarina Inspiration

Post by Milo »

Spotted these trees during some of our cycle trips

So when I found a 1.5 M staight trunk Cunninghamiana nursery tree with exposed roots and a small branch about 200mm from the base. The aim was to produce some thing similar

Needs a few more years , but the aim will be similar to the road side tree.
