That has a good starting framework for a banksia. :beer:
Definitely keep us updated on this one.

Yeah, I can imagine. It looks very much like a lot of the Banksias around my way .... albeit without developed branching yet.

:imo: A lot of people style their banksias like a fig or a deciduous tree and it looks unnatural. This looks raw and natural already.
