Re: Banksia seratta thanks for the good advice
Thanks again guys,
I reckon I will leave it in the poly tunnel over winter now to stop it getting too wet in the cool season. That is unless anyone has a better suggestion.

I definately believe sheltered in from cold and frost will be a bonus for serrata in winter. winter in Melb knocks mine around, thats for sure and it aint the water.

Hi Craig,
Does this mean there are some large B serrata for sale in the near future?
If so I would be interested in one.

Re: Banksia seratta thanks for the good advice
Hi Craig,
I don't know if you've ever tried it but I use it always after root work and (admittedly in my limited experience) I've never lost a tree through re-potting or any root work at all: 'Plantstarter'. A few companies have one, I use the Multicrop one. Seems to work for me with proper after care of course.
(posted before I read that it had survived!
Great news. That'll teach me for blowing in and out of this forum willy nilly.)

I really do wish they'd hurry up and grow.
