Thought I would share this project. I will be using this at the School of Bonsai when classes start again next month.
HISTORY
- NAME: Banksia Serrata Cape York Dwarf
PURCHASED: I bought this from Ray Nesci about four years ago. It was a stick in a pot for about $12.
GROW POSITION: I removed it from the pot to a colander and placed it on the ground. It was in sun most of the day.
PROPAGATION: I think Ray Nesci is the only one selling these trees. He found the secret of how to propagate from cuttings.
ON THE GROUND: The tree would have been growing on the ground for 3 to 4 years. It is over 2 metres tall with a base about 10cm diameter.
I intend to put the tree in a water tray until I take it to the school. To allow the tree to sit flat and the roots to be in the water I removed the thick roots.
I'll add more photos after it has been attacked.
Regards Ray
