Re: Banksia Integrefolia

Pamela:

I would not suggest planting such a huge plant in a problem site.  I think it's always wiser to plant small when dealing with adverse conditions.
 
A smaller plant will adjust to the site more quickly and more effectivey in the long run.

Thank you so far to every one helping us with information to establish our Costa Blanca garden. It's been wonderful, and you are all so knowledgable!!!.  
 
We are considering purchasing a 6 m Coastal Banksia ( 3m trunk and 3m Branches/foliage) for screening purposes.  It will be an expensive purchase and I would like to know if this will spread and grow quickly. ( We want it tall and wide).  It will be in full sun and in a slightly windy exposed position surrounded by Oleander.
Also, any advice on planting such a big tree with regard to the root ball after being in a pot for such along time.
 
If we choose a Eucalpytus or Mimosa for this position - how would they fare in relation to the Banksia as far as spread and height go.
 
Thank you
 
Pamela
