G'day all, I read Bernie I think suggesting that it'd be handy if we all signed our emails with our location as well as our name. I reckon this is a great idea...
Good idea Geoff! Somehow however I've got the feeling that some people prefer to stay anonymous. Understandable, in a way, but nowadays this is practically...

G'day Steve, Good to hear from you as always on this list. Was the plant grown from seed or cutting or was it purchased? A lovely flower, and very nice...
Great photo Steve. I'm most envious. I have one about 6 years old that is still only less than a metre high. It produced one spike 4 years ago and hasn't...
Hi Phil, Interesting one Phil and thanks to you, Cas and Liesbeth for your comments. Some figures that might be interesting. Toodyay, W.A. Summer average...
Hi all Banksia group members. I have a baxteri that is about 1.5 metres high but has become quite open and shaggy looking. My questions is about pruning this...

Jim - I know Kevin Collins can be quite savage in pruning, with some young plants (say, about 2m or so) lopping off over half to sturdy and bush them up alot...

Cas, Origiginally they came from west of Jervis Bay (1994) (see flora of NSW vol 2), road works resue. I guess they are B ericifolia subsp. ericifolia x...
Thanks for your reply Cas, I think I will snip about a third off each stem and see how it goes. It is very dry here at present without the hint of rain, so...
Geoff, Cheers for that, I've now found some good obscure Tasmanian weather stations.!!! Actually it was 30oC here in New Norfolk yesterday. To-day is a typical...
Sadly Steve, All those have given in to the weather or my bad handling. But as they say, "Every little dream that fades and dies generates the steam for two...

G'day fellow plant and garden people, I recieved the below email today from a group digest and I feel it needs as wide an audience as possible and holds...

For what it is worth, nobody in government seems to listen and if they do then they don't have the intestinal fortitude to do anything about it. I agree 100%...
Just a small technical remark as well. The technology which became known as 'terminator' is developed to protect biodiversity and will probably also be used...
