Nice trees Sarah. Nobody I know calls them “Saw Banksias” though. They’re the most recognisable Banksia in Sydney due to their gnarly trunks, so they’re usually just “Banksias”. You’ll sound way more Aussie if you call them an “Old Man Banksia” though.
I suspect the birds will love the Paperbark as well as the Banksia. The spikiness is meant to provide great habitat.
I look forward to following their progress.
Nice Firefox addon – I didn’t have that one, but now I do! Thanks for the share Sarah (and Chris)
