This guy is a Banksia ericifolia that I found on amazon of all places, I had been looking for seed but came across a listing for this so figured for 9 euro it was worth a gamble. Also picked up a integrifolia at the same time but the base is too big for this comp. Either way I'm stoked to have a couple now and figure a good start is to follow Grants excellent advice so that is the plan.
As of now no work has been done to this, might put some wire on it and wait for spring to give it a trim.
