Banksia restrictus

[cuwire]

Hi Banksia people

I have had this banksia from a nursery pot (big root reduction) into this small pot. It has been and is happy in this pot for 4 months checked religiously twice a day.

I have taken off 50mm and leaf bunches from the top to keep some balance.

Always thought it would be an oddity and would need to be potted up at some stage. But recently I have seen some banksias at a bonsai nursery similar in plant and bonsai pot size. So I wondered if any member has a banksia this pot size.

If I keep it as is I would like to reduce the height - if I cut the trunk in half do you think I would get a new bunch at one of the knobs.
If I cut right down to the first bunch - what do you think?
