Found it at a nursery last year [ around June ],
It's back in a bit pot right now, the trunk is too thin.
The roots might looks interesting [ once it grows a bit ]

Re: Casuarina [ still in training ]
I have a few that look Just like that too
I grew mine from seed tho.
I have put 2 into the ground to grow and Cut then back real hard, and another 3 I have chopped hard and repotted yesterday.
I have another batch ( 100 or so), in a seed tray now that have just started to develop their mature leaves so will be ready to pot up soon.

Re: Casuarina [ still in training ]
A little update on this one.
There's a side branch that's growing more vigorously than the rest.
I'd like some advice at this point on whether I should cut off the branches or let it grow more?
