A year on and the winter frosts were not kind to the Banksia. It has died back in several areas the most predominant is the right hand bottom branch which died back about half way. I have repotted into a different PK pot and is starting to develop new shoots which will replace the damaged areas.

This year I am hoping to build a covered area to protect this tree and some others against this problem.
