Casuarina cunninghamiana - River Oak - 50 Seeds

The River Oak, Casuarina cunninghamiana is one of a number of Casuarina species that has proved to make an attractive Bonsai subject. 
In the wild it is a medium-sized tree to about 18m tall with slightly pendulous branches, producing cones to about 2.5cm in length.  It is a handsome tree now extensively used in urban areas within Australia, including the cold frosty national capital Canberra.  This is a versatile, frost tolerant species that goes equally well in well-drained, lightly saline or damp soils. 
It is a valuable habitat, parrots and finches eat seed, wrens and other birds nest in foliage.

As a Bonsai subject all styles are possible.  A slight tendency to weakness in branches and foliage at the end of cascades in upright specimens can be overcome by correct pruning.
