Re: weeping sheoak
What a great looking tree - I just have to have a go at one of these. There are heaps of them in the bush around me and I just walk past them.

Re: weeping sheoak
Nice, it is shaping up to be a beautiful tree.
The first branch (on left) has a particularly nice shape. My personal opinion is that the top needs to be slightly sharper.
Thanks for posting Antonio! Please thanks Quinten on my behalf too.

As you said Steven a very nice tree.
I have to say that I ( here we go again ) disagree with the need for a sharper head or if you prefer crown. A pointed head or crown depict an immature tree very few tree's in maturity show pointed crowns. Of all the Casuarina I have seen in the forests around here and down south they all have round heads. Just an observation. JMO

Re: weeping sheoak
Nice Ant, thansk for posting.
FWIW my vote goes with keeping a crown similar to what it has.

Re: weeping sheoak
Lovely tree. I have one with the promise to equal yours but a couple years growth needed. It is nice to see such a good role model and give me a greater idea where my tree is heading. Very pleasing native with the filmy foliage and the wonderfully textured trunk.
I was just given two young ones today, one has heaps of potential and an interesting curvature, the lesser one will develop nicely in time. I potted both up and restyled [or styled, as the case may be] and the best one is in a little Mirkwood shohin pot and already is showing signs of potential. I'm talking early days but the owner passed them on feeling they were hopeless junk. I was happy to have my hand out.... I'll pass on a bottle of wine as a thank you but he's not getting them back.
Thanks for the inspiration with your lovely tree.
