Dear all, tonight at our local meeting, a member brought a grafted Banksia brownii in an 8" pot - it had an upside down wedge graft (i.e. the stock was the...
Dear Cas, This sounds very interesting although B. brownii does very well on its own roots so far over here. Cas, do you reckon it was a seedling graft or...

Difficult Bruce - from the books, the surest way of telling appears to be that the majority of older follicles on B canei spikes will be closed, as opposed to...
Mmmm, I know we have some quite unusual Lambertias, but unfortunately I've never seen any of them in nurseries. It was Lambertia formosa that I've seen, and...
I have several mature specimens of B. Spinulosa, and one (only) has been attacked by a borer which bores in at the base of the flowers, or at the junction of...

Thanks Cas and others for your replies re my pale Lambertia formosa. Funny to learn that several colour varieties exist; in literature I only found the red one...
