Hi guys
im considering taking delivery of a serrata with a trunk about 40mm at the base with a height of about 350mm.
unfortunately it comes in a pot about 60mm deep which i hate.
would this little beast be suitable to be planted in a shallow pot

thanks in advance DAN

Hi Dan, your tree should probably go into a pot which reflects the trunk diameter so around the 40mm mark. I wouldn't put banksia into any thing too shallow, they have a very fibrous root system and dry out quite quickly.

thanks for the advice sounds great too delivery of my old boy and im very happy with it apart from that darn pot

cheers dan
