Snail style casuarina

Post by si90 »

Probably better called an accent rather than a bonsai but either way here is my little snail style sheoak. It will get put into a shallower pot probably next spring.

I would use the snail "shell" only, Change the angle and use it as " sumo" style bonsai. It would be great in a couple of years
