It is already bearing you mark Craig, keep up the good work.

Cheers Pup

Thanks Pup,

Craig,

Thanks for the update,as I mention in my FB message the illusion of depth in this raft is amazing given how narrow the whole lot is https://www.ausbonsai.com.au/360/Casuari ... mii_pupds/

I really like the changes you have made, only one question... is that a bit of a taper issue starting to happen near the tops of the taller trunks?

Matt

Thanks Matt, yes a little problem on the tallest tree which i will start addressing in the near future most likely to remove the top of tree #1 alltogether and grow a new crown.

Look forward to watching this group evolve with you...Matt

Good score, Craig. I look forward to the progression.

, thanks Penny and Matt. I took these pictures today, i thought they look a little cleare than the previous ones cheers .

Gday Craig it has about as much as you and I up top now

Pup

Yeah, but at least with a tree it grows back !

Looking great, casuarina would be one of the best looking aussie bonsai IMO. Great work

Thanks John

All, ,

A little while back i decided to start adressing the bulge near to the top of tree #1 (tallest), i removed a section of it, hollowed it out so it would heal over, it seemed like a good way to go at the time ,

however since i first got the group i had in mind jinning the top out of tree #1, fairly big call but i'm going to do it pics to come

all, i spent around 4 hours removing un-needed clododes(needles) and wiring branches into place today. The tree looks sparse without the apex, but i now have a new leader wired up and am starting to get the branches where i want them,, it's due for a repot sometime soon,.
an interesting link, http://www.winrock.org/fnrm/factnet/fac ... miana.html

That is a very interesting group of trees Craig, it is very hard to pick a point that needs to be rectified, so I will not try.

Thank you for sharing.
