Re: Swamp fox Banksia.
Last night was the first meeting of the year for BS of WA. I put up a display of the tree plus a water pool stone and a bronze kingfisher

Hi Pup. Amazing tree, how big will the flower end up being and do you selectively prune other ones off? or just let them go for it
Cheers

Hi Max the flower on this should be about another two thirds, no I will let the others show first then selectively prune them out. This is the first time of flowing so I will have to watch and learn.no idea wrote:Hi Pup.

As I have kept this pruned for shape more than anything, I did not expect flowers at all.
