Swamp oak
Casuarina glauca

The swamp oak is a native to Australia. It has the type of long green, thin branches which most people believe are leaves. It's true leaves are very tiny. I hope to get some photos to explain this better. I don't know why I wish to Bonsai this tree- maybe purely out of curiosity. As the name suggests, they like a lot of water.

Above is a photo of my little Australian swamp oak seedlings. All four are doing well, however the little one, second from the right, was very weak in the beginning and has not grown straight because of it.  It has recently began to get buds so I feel confident in its continuing health. My plane tree is in the same pot and can be seen on the bottom right.

I have to date, four tiny shoots. I tried to get photo of them today but was unsuccessful as they are still too small- a few millimeters above the soil. I will keep you informed and will get photos soon.
