Ironwood Bonsai

I have been training the subject ironwood (casuarina) for bonsai for many years, starting with a seedling rescued from a public park. The actions documented here are but one stop on the way to becoming a show tree.


The tree has been previously pruned and wired for bonsai and has been growing unrestrained in this round concrete growing pot for a couple of years.

The tree will go into this right-sized bonsai pot. I put 1/16 inch aluminum window screens over the two drainage holes. Wet sand will cover the screens.
