Hi all I recently bought a banksia from a Bunnings wharehouse in Hobart. It was marked as Ashbyi, however it looked like Serrata, several of which
were close...
It amazes me how hardy banksias are and how well they adapt to cold weather. Tasmania has had a very severe winter. I have over 20 different species in the...
Thanks Jim That's what I thought. Is that difference due to the source of the seed. [ its locale] Best wishes Steve ... From: banksias@yahoogroups.com Date:...

G'day Steve and Jim, Great to see the banksia arrayed in it's coating of frost and hearing that it's still surviving well(along with the others). I am...
Steve, Could be what you say, the location of the seed, or a slight difference in the potting mix. My word that is a ripping frost, fortunately we don't get...
Geoff, Hi mate, are you sure you were not on Macquarie Island. Where in Tasmania did you spend your time here, I would be interested to know, I cannot...
Jim A freezing winter indeed. A very fine layer of snow fell in the township
about 5am a few mornings ago. With only a few weeks of winter remaining I feel...
Steve, You must drop in on me if you are down this way too, I play golf most Wednesdays and Fridays though if the weather is fine, I am not a golfer who braves...
Hi all, I have a Banksia Praemorsa that has just flowered after about 2.5 years. Initially about 15 buds appeared about 6 Months ago(I cant beleive how long...
Thats 4 more flowers than mine Bill, and I've had mine 4 years (but I'm in Sydney). Anyway, especially if the buds are shrivelled looking I'd cut them off. ...
Cas, thanks for the quick response. I'll take your advice and snip them off on the weekend, if it stops raining that is! Saw you on GA. Great segment, you had...
Gee Bill, only four flowers, I'd trade it in for a rose bush. Seriously though I just cut the old dried flowers off so the plant looks fresh; banksia baxteri...
Hi all, Hurray! Both my 5 years old (sown Sep. 1999) B. victoriae are budding up. Only one bud on each plant so far but I'm very pleased as it is. They're...
Hi Bill, I simply broke off the (many!) buds that hadn't developed on B. media last year as they turned black. New shoots are appearing from just below the...
Thanks for the advice Liesbeth and Jim, I've removed the old buds. Liesbeth, Banksias in the Netherlands. WOW!! You obviously like a challenge. How do they...
Hi Bill, Yes, I do like a challenge and I'm so pleased that my over 50 different species and varieties of Banksia are growing well since I found out how to ...
Hi all Wondering if anyone out there has experience in growing B.benthamiana. There is a grower in Northern Victoria who has reported that it grows well in...
Scott - the Banksia Atlas recorded it in flat areas on mostly sandy soils but occasionally found on lateritic or loamy soils. I guess this may mean it may...
Thought some may be interested in my first attempt at 'mass producing' banksias. The results are almost like a box of chocolates, with lots of different...
G'day Cas, Just what IS this Banksia Atlas? And is it readily available to the public? Thanks Geoff "Cas and Lisa (also Silvia, Max & Viveka) Liber"...
