30th birthday banksia

Post by Ces »

Turning that isn't all bad.

Some friends of mine got together and bought this integrifolia from ray's for my birthday. sorry no size comparison. but the base of the tree is about 80-90 mm just above the root flare.

I'm stoked. enough said.

Great stock Ces!

Here is a link to Grant Bowie's thread on B. integrifolia as Bonsai just in case you haven't read it. Looking forward to seeing it develop.
