(SYANBS) Banksia serrata- Dwarf (Green Cape N.S.W)

Dwarf Banksia serrata seed collected from 20+ year old garden plants that I've grown from seed originally collected at Green Cape N.S.W- the only dwarf Banksia serrata population in the wild to my knowledge. The dozen or so in my garden range from 30cms high to 4m+ with some exhibiting strong horizontal and almost weeping branching, hopefully I can get some tight internode characteristics with these genetics. If anyone has experience with this particular form please share. I believe this location is where Banksia serrata 'Pygmy Possum' was selected from, i'd say it's clonally propagated too as it seems to be consistently small where as all mine are so variable.

Sown on June 10 and as of today bugger all have come up (damn Melbourne winter)
