You deserve it! Can you give us more details about the tree and history?
I ask lots of questions that sound like suggestions. Please remember I am a inquisitive newbie trying to figure out why You made a particular decision, in order to learn.

I have offered the Banksia to the NBPCA as a donation and it has been accepted.

I will keep you posted with photos as it continues to mature at the collection.

I still have 3 at home to play with and should take a few cuttings to keep it in circulation.
