Hi guys
im considering taking delivery of a serrata with a trunk about 40mm at the base with a height of about 350mm.
unfortunately it comes in a pot about 60mm deep which i hate.
would this little beast be suitable to be planted in a shallow pot
thanks in advance DAN

Hi Dan, your tree should probably go into a pot which reflects the trunk diameter so around the 40mm mark. I wouldn't put banksia into any thing too shallow, they have a very fibrous root system and dry out quite quickly.
