Are there any Banksias that can flower ... Not that I know of, though some of the prostrates and B dryandroides probably wouldnt' take much longer under...
Cheers everyone, those informations were very useful. About the growing conditions over here : It must be quite similar to Western Australia and Costa del Sol...
Cas, Thanks for your reply. As we all know Banksias are good candidates for fire indicators so I was just interested to see their flowering period after fire. ...
Hello everybody again, Thanks for your replies. I just have to make a correction on what I wrote: it was not B. media but B. integrifolia that I have rooted...
... That has already been done, where the minimum and maximum intervals between fires for species reproduction has been determined, for most eastern species ...
<Where can I get the Banksia book? Is it available on the internet?> Joao, typed into Google and came up with: http://proteasales.com/books/selections.htm...
Hi Cas, That sounds really good. I was aware that such mapping had been done for B. ericifolia but I was not aware that many other Banksias were included in...
I had a chat with Margaret Pieroni (Dryandra SG leader) to see what dryandras she thought would be a good starting place for potential grafters (using criteria...
Ola Jaoa, Banksias will love the western portuguese climate as it is humid and well temperated. The only problem is to the soil, by the pH and the phythophtora...
Dear Cas, Dryandras are one of my passions. I killed hundreds while I lived in Sydney. I had a D. formosa which lasted two years before going. Down here I've...
Maybe it's abit weird, but I seem to find Dryandras more adaptable than Banksias [and much less palatable to roos, which is a bonus]. They don't seem to need...
Here here Margaret. And BooHoo my B brownii just carked it. AHHHHHHHHHHH The others are looking fine though (fingers crossed) David On 7/12/02 4:34 PM,...
... I find Kevin quite approachable when phoning him, as opposed to email, so I would ring him but recognise that is difficult for you. I am not sure how you...
Dear Cas, thanks a lot for your advise. I feel I did send Kevin a very friendly e-mail with some info, not just: 'please send me your seedlist'. I might try...
My 2 B. brownii's are still looking happy. Gave them a larger pot some weeks ago. I usually wait until spring but thought they might appreciate it since they...
Liesbeth and Cas, I don't know who you refer to as Kevin. I purchase the Australian native seed I require from Nindethana Seed Service in West Australia. At...
Well I'm a sucker for punishment. I went out to bushwalk nursery SE of Melbourne today a got another. BTW I think this nursery is even better than Kuranga!....
Thanks Jim and David for your replies. It's good to know I was not clumsy as for germinating D. formosa seed! The reason why I asked for info on where to order...
Thanks David! SO sorry about your brownii..I still have the dead body of my occidentalis staring at me in the garden, like an admonishment. Dang it. I still...
Liesbeth, I have not tried banksia from Nindethana but have had success with grevillea seed from them, so I would think banksia seed would be ok as well. ...
Hi Margaret, Sorry about your occidentalis dying, I have also found that particular species unreliable as well. I also did try one brownii and it died, no...
One of my B roburs is about 2.5m and flowering at the top with 6 or so inflorescences, and it is also doing this at the base which I thought was quite...
i live app' 35 kilometers north of gympie qld, this banksia is growing on well drained sandy loam type soil. is there a common type of banksia to this area? ...
... This sounds like Banksia integrifolia - the local subspecies is B. integrifolia compar. Yes, this is a feature of integrifolia to have serrated young...
thanks cas & lisa, i did a lot of searching on yahoo and thought i had integrifolia, but then the leaf difference had me bluffed. the seasons greeting to you...
... according to the banksia book, the differeence is in the leaves, with B integrifolia compar having leaves 10-20cm long as opposed to 4-10cm long. B compar...
geographically we are in the wide bay environ, but then we are east/soth-east of rainbow beach so we are most likely in an overlap, maybe a chance that both...
