Hi all

I posted this when i first got it from the throw out section of the local wholesale nursery near me. Gave the worker a heart attack when i asked for some large loppers to cut down the six foot pot bound banksia down to about one foot. :shock:

I let is sit out the winter and have just done first root prune and thought i'd post the process. plenty of new growth coming along so here's hoping :fc:

I actually changed pots between pics as i felt it needed more root coverage
