Post by Damian79 »

This is my second entry a Little banksia.
Cost me $10 from local nursery(Gardinarium) and stands 210mm.
I plan to semicascade this tree as I havent really tried it yet.

Hey Damian, don't be too quick in throwing the stump away. Most banksias will put new shoots out on bare wood and from the base. If you have just cut it too low I think it will probably shoot again - maybe not in time for the competition but it should still stay alive.

He is not too slow! I hold the record for killing a bonsai! :oops: ;) Mine looked dead before the competition even started. But I am waiting...A miracle might happen!
I ask lots of questions that sound like suggestions. Please remember I am a inquisitive newbie trying to figure out why You made a particular decision, in order to learn.
