[IBC] BCI March/April 2003 issue. Some observations.
I was flipping through my new issue of BCI magazine and a couple things popped out at me.
I know there are some Casuarina fans on the list ( Jerry M. and Florida guys) . That very large Casuarina raft by Robert Stevens on pg.37 is a beauty!. Every tree of his I see is gorgeous! As I'm thinking about it, it seems all the ones I rember seein g are single trunks ( usually huge BTW). This is VERY nice. second, not sure if anyone noticed, but the very interesting "African style" Buddleja saligna ( false olive) on pg34 has an equally interesting oval pot with uneven-undulating height in it's sides. Very interesting. I'd like to know where this pot cam e from ( hand-made, manufactured, ?) I may have to try my hand at one of this style pot, although it really needs the right tree/style as in this case. I can almost see a giraffe below stretching his neck to snack on the high foliage. Neat!! Regards, Dale Cochoy, Wild Things Bonsai Studio, Hartville, Ohio http://www.WildThingsBonsai.Com Specializing in power wood carving tools.

Dale,
I haven't gotten the issue yet but Casuarina is a terrific species for tropical bonsai which is much under-used. It does tend to be mainly stiff and straight in its normal growth pattern. Raft styles are unusual. I have seen many bonsai masterpieces done by Robert Stevens and he is a master bonsai artist. His trees are all gorgeous.

Hi Dale,
The pot you are refering to was made in South Africa. The artist who used it went to a commercial potter and selected the required shape and cut a ready made unfired pot to his requirement. It was then fired and glazed.
