Horsetail She Oak - Casuarina Equisetifolia - Bonsai Tree - 5 Seed Pack

The horsetail she-oak or casuarina equisetifolia is a small tree growing to perhaps 8 metres in its natural environment with a pendulous, drooping, normally open habit. Flowers are inconspicuous but these trees come in male and female forms and in spring the male trees can take on an attractive rusty hew from their pollen. Fruit is a cone to about one inch in length. A versatile tree that has been greatly under-used as a garden or ornamental species with scope for imaginative use as is seen from the trained and sculpte example illustrated in a Japanese theme garden. This species also makes an excellent bonsai subject, particularly the incana subspecies with its smaller size and leaf form.
