Subject: RE: [banksias] Kuranga

Thanks Karlo for this info, Ian has passed on his contact details too. So from my understanding now of your set-up you must have very many banksia's in pots in various stages of growth waiting to plant them out, phew I don't fancy that job much, just all the watering alone every other days enough or have you rigged up a watering system and time clock? The comes the migration and settleing in at their new home phew again. Are you hiring a big digger fro the job? regards again Ross --- On Sun, 22/3/09, Karlo Taliana <karlo.taliana@optusnet.com.au> wrote: From: Karlo Taliana <karlo.taliana@optusnet.com.au> Subject: RE: [banksias] Kuranga To: banksias@yahoogroups.com Date: Sunday, 22 March, 2009, 10:08 PM I only spoke to Phil Vaughan a few weeks ago...he’s had  achange of heart and is staying put.  From what i understand, he’s also committed to speaking at the ASGAP Conference in Geelong in September.

Last time I was down there (late last year), he was saying that the end of the business was near, although he has been saying that for a while. Like many in the nursery business, the drought has affected him badly. (Although Kuranga seems to go from strength to strength).

I’ve heard of Karunga nursery... is it in Melbourne?? I just got back from WA...visits to Kings Park, Banksia Farm and Stirling Range NP.  It was a great trip and i took away a lot from the experience.  Later i’ll post some pics.

Audax bag has finally sprouted up so those seeds well really seed was still viable thank you now for the tricky part of keeping it alive till is big enough to grow in the ground, Thanks again Karlo. We had 35mm of rain last week and aren't my banksia's happy now . Kuranga Nursery had their Autumn sale two weeks back and I came home with a load of replacements, some Banksias that I'd lost about 6 new dryandras, some grafted grevillea and other odds and ends, actually I filled the car up i was having such a good time, now most are in the ground. One plant I'm hoping to survive was a $20.00 B media at about 3" tall with buds nearing opening, my take on it was well if it dies the flowers alone are worth that much at a florist. PS if you want one similar let me know and I'll find a way to get it to you may not have as many buds as the one I got though. Pot bound for sure. But good for cuttings etc at worst. take care and thank you again mate.

I sterilize my pots before use and pouring boiling water over my potting medium which is in a bucket – letting it cool overnight in that bucket. Then, i sow before placing under glass. The advice you previously gave me was spot on.  The B.integrifolia var monticola seedlings are no longer bog watered in a saucer and i’ve sprayed with very weak seasol...being careful not to water again unless soil feels dry.  Being in the shade seems to have helped a lot also...as the the leaves are starting to green up.  It seems i was doing quite a lot wrong..  I’ll learn from the experience. In Summer, should i water with an anti-fungal occasionally? ?

Probably Pythium or some other species of Phytopthora or similar. There are couple of ways to overcome the problem - ie. don't grow seedlings in summer, or use new pots or sterilised pots, a new potting medium source etc and keep seperated from any other seedlings. I have had this problem myself.  Scott -----Original Message----- From: banksias@yahoogroup s.com [mailto:banksias@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of Karlo Taliana Sent: Friday, 23 January 2009 12:20 AM To: banksias@yahoogroup s.com Subject: RE: [banksias] more yellowing issues .
