heres my new look banksia and I am very happy with it. Was able to put a bit of time in over the easter break and do some wiring etc. Now the tree needs to be grown into its new style, by the end of the next growing season it should be much better.

Hi Jamie, thanks for that I think the trunk line is much more apparent.
Thanks Steven amazing how the loss of a few branches can improve a tree so much.

After seeing this tree in the flesh after the work was done I must say it a vast improvement on what you had before, though it was a unique tree before it just seemed about ready to fall over at any instance, this is much nicer!
