Banksia Roller Coaster

[bonsailover]

Yesterday i was roaming the local Flower Power
& Bam this plant just hit me & i fell in love.



last night i sat there looking looking & looking at it trying to get inspiration.
I Ended up last night giving it a good trim as there is no floer growth as yet so i thought
i better get to it. It has been very neglected at the nursery but with my love it will come good.
I will wire it some time this weekend & pot it..

I will then post another pic with it all done
cheers

Here is a roller coaster I have been playing with. I have been using a stake to get a basic trunk line (as you would with a juniper). If you start early, you can get a pretty great shape.I find they respond to pruning well, so you can work on the branches after the trunk line is established.
