That's a good story, and how long did it take to get there?

BTW is the cylindrical thing in the middle of the canopy in 3rd photo down a fruiting body?

The picture dates from the top are 2005 , 2006, 2009, 2010 , 2011, 2012.

The stalk in pic 3 is an unopened flower.

I love these progression photos. That has turned into a really nice tree. Good job! As usual, I'm curious about it's size (height).

Had to look up this species as I'd never heard of it. Really interesting flower spikes - does it bloom much as a bonsai?. From the photos I've seen, I'd guess the spikes are fairly large relative to the size of the tree...

coh,

The height is 70cm ( 27.6 inches) x 90cm wide ( 35.4 inches )

It has flowered every 2 years and currently has 3 flower spikes which have not opened yet. The flowers are large as on most Banksia.

Development of Banksia ericifolia Empty Update

This is the latest photo. Recently at the Australian Ammeter Bonsai Club national conference Ryan Neil critiqued this tree.
When Summer comes around again I will be trying to correct some of the faults that were discussed.

Regards,

Peter

It's been a really nice development, good vision. What did he say the faults were?

Tom,

Ryan had said that their was going to be a problem were I had let 3 branches develop from 1 point. This, I hope to start correcting in our summer months this year.

Also the lack of movement in a lot of branching.Not sure how I will achieve this. I suspect that I will have to remove a lot of the top and start again with the new branches. This would take about 2 or 3 seasons to achieve.

Regards

Peter
