Hi all just uploaded a couple of photos of b rossierae that I grafted off mature material on 22/10/2006. The rootstock is Banksia integrifolia. The photos are...
The plant looks fantastic Mark. It looks to be growing quickly which is a great sign. Is there a demand in the West for grafted Banksias, or are plants...
Giday Phil Over here in the west The coastal Belt where all the development is taking place is very alkaline (ph 9 to 10) and as you go inland the ph drops...
Hi Noticed some black blotches starting to appear on some leaves on my b. Baueri. Is it some frost damage, or do I need to worry about fungal or disease? ...
Hi, I am new to this group. I have recently germinated a batch of seedings from seeds labelled as B. cuneata, but I don't think they are B. cuneata. The leaves...
Hello Rob I don't know the answer to your question on leaf shape. Someone from this group will probably know. I don't think it would be a surprise if the...
Hi Rob, a clue as to whether it really is B. cuneata could be the prize of the seed: as far as I know cuneata is a lot more expensive than other B. seeds, with...
Rob, the immature leaves are very different from adult leaves. Many banksias are like this. Furthermore they can be quite variable. I've not seen its immature...
Thanks. I have grown a number of Banksia from seed before and am not used to the leaves appearring to be quite so radically different from adult ones. Maybe I...
They do. I had an immature B ilicifolia and agree the difference is pretty remarkable even for a banksia. Yeah posting a pic'd be great. Cas _____ From:...
Your cuneata does look like cuneata, I'm not sure what the other ones are. Liesbeth. ... From: Robert Howe To: banksias@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, July...
Cas, i stumbled across this old mail when searching for info on B.marginata. Cas, i'd be interested in buying a couple of grafted B.solandri if Phil Keanes...
It's a bit hard to say if you can't see the affected area. Could be frost damage, could be fungus etc ... From: Gill Muller To: banksias@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
Dear Karlo and everyone, Phil Vaughan of Vaughans native plants in Portarlington (near Geelong) has some grafted banksias for sale. Not sure if he posts them...
I do worry in western species that it is fungus. If in an area of poor ventilation prune some lower branches to thin it out a bit. Is there any associated...
I'm not sure but the cuneata looked like the related ilicifolia which makes sense - I've not seen the other two as immature spp butthey could be what they say...
Gill, Thank you for highlighting my post. In reply to Cas, no yellowing at all. A completely vibrant plant suddenly is developing these blotches. I asked the...
Thanks Cas, I happen to be down in Victoria in early October - i'll try to contact him prior. That pic in the Newsletter of B. marginata 'Mini marg' - has the...
Karlo - yep you're right, from the name tag I've seen (and younger flowers), minimarge is a straight marg flower, i.e. yellow. The images in the BSG newsletter...
I agree with Cas - my young coccineas do look like yours, I first missed your mentioning that they were supposed to be coccinea. It could do with some...
The cuneata came from b-and-t-world-seeds.com - expensive as they deal as "middle men" from other sources, but I don't know any other source and they of course...
To avoid damping off with some of these very touchy species, I surface sterilise seeds with bleach and then treat seedlings with Bordeaux powder at intervals. ...
My batches of seeds this year were sprayed at regular intervals (both as seeds and as seedlings) with a fungicide. Now the sun is getting warmer I am moving...
Rob, As for fertilizer: I'm the proud owner of an ample supply of Osmocote for Australian Natives that I use for all of my Aussie plants, including Proteaceae....
If I'm right in presuming it is rather different from "normal" Osmocote, I'd be delighted to try it. Rob. ... From: Uijtewaal To: banksias@yahoogroups.com ...
Rob, It's 17+1.6+8.7+0.6Mg (the first three stand for N, P and K respectively as you will know) so it's very low in Phosphorous. There's spore elements as well...
Rob As noted in correspondence from Liesbeth you should be using a low phosphorus fertiliser (I'm surprised that your plants survived in ordinary Osmocote...
No, I haven't used fertiliser of any kind on any of my proteaceae. I have used Osmocote on "normal" plants though. Don't worry, I've been playing with ...
