Well done mate. You made a lot of Hard decisions but they needed to be made. Another year or so and it will be twice the tree it was. Great job. Also well done on the videoing. 😀😀
Thanks Sam was stressful for sure making such big changes 😂
Making the hard choices is half the battle. Well done mate.
very talented for someone so young
Nice job the tree will thank you in the years to come
Cheers Anders, yep I think it can prepares into a nice tree now :)
Good job getting that lil dude under control. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Brian, took awhile indeed haha. Thanks for watching!
One of my favourite species. Beautiful tree, very well put together, great stuff Lori.
Gday there Dave, thank you and a merry Christmas to you. Do you have any banksia as bonsai or planted? One of my favourite species too. So versatile and different.
Cheers, Lawrie.

Gorgeous tree!
Thanks mate, lots of potential I reckon
It’s gonna be nice! Can’t wait to see more of it.
No issues, just challenges! 😁 Great tree, Banksia is new to me.. I like it! 😍 Cheers!
Thanks Blue Jay, banksia is an iconic Aussie tree here! Glad you liked how it turned out. :)
Nice one mate . A very elegant tree
Thank you kindly Lindsay 🙏🏽
I like your tree! Great scale and movement. You had to make some tough decisions, but they were necessary, for sure. Awesome work, brother. Looking forward to see how it responds. Hopefully we can see it in flower at some point. I read they are beautiful, but I’ve never seen one.
Thanks mate, really appreciate that. it has responded extremely well, with lots of new growth. No issues there at all. I would love for it to flower, i think it will eventually. Banksia is a beautiful plant to see in the wild. So many different types from huge trees to ground covers, all with insane flowers. Thanks for the comment Mr Bald Yet 😎
Good reset of the design. As you said early in the vid banksias set multiple branches from one node. Let it grow out and cut it back hard, it will give you many options for the future of the tree. The previous owner didn't make those decisions but I am sure you will. Great job!
Hey Darrel, thanks for that! I’ll keep your tip in mind, some Aussie natives push out insane growth very quickly. It’ll have a lot to choose from and work with, looking forward to how it’ll turn out
Can you make a video on how to make a banksia bonsái from a seedling or tube stock?
@@liquidbrickle That’s a great idea. I’m in canada right now so it would be difficult but will hopefully do more bonsai once we can purchase a property :)
Woah so good And so much to learn. Thanks heaps for that. Just a question do you ever propagate the branches you cut off?
Hey Steph, i find banksia hard to proposer from cuttings, although it is possible. I don’t take cuttings off this tree much, but you can buy tube stock for 2.50 at a native nursery. Other trees of mine (such as a Chinese elm), I most definitely take cuttings from
nothing wrong with the wiring. Just be careful cause banksia do grow quick love the potential
Yep, will be careful for sure. I have some eucalyptus bonsai and sometimes I have to take off the wire within two weeks. Aussie natives can grow incredibly quick
