Notes

Uses: Tough, highly ornamental Banksia with long yellow scented spikes winter to summer.
Will tolerate salt spray

Banksia's can be a little difficult to prune. They do respond well to light pruning but too much can result in heavy leaf growth at the expense of flowers. Pruning too hard into old wood can result in permanent damage to the tree.
