This has a nice trunk down low. Thinking about wiring the top into some interesting form and developing a new leader.
If airlayering is not suitable I'll do a trunk chop.
All ideas welcome

Airlayering?
Are Banksia Integrifolia suitable for airlayering?

Re: Airlayering?
I can't see why not..
A quick search of the forums yielded this IMO cool looking layer: viewtopic.php?f=142&t=12223&p=128356&hi ... er#p128356
Maybe our resident layer expert Ray might chime in?

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: Airlayering?
Give it a go Ben. Lots of these are grown as cuttings so if that's possible so is layering.

Re: Airlayering?
Quick update. Did the airlayer 3 or 4 weeks ago. The whole tree is looking very well and putting out plenty of new growth!
