This was very well supported with 56
orders coming in. However when I placed the order with HCC Nursery and they
passed the order on to the commercial nursery that was supplying them, HCC was
advised that they had all sold out.
As some of you might have noticed there
was a very good article in the Hamilton Press about Mangaiti Restoration Group
and about the Banksia Project. This appeared five weeks after the interview so
we were fielding calls from other people wanting the order Banksia. Although we
could not supply we made a lot more contacts and a number of them would be
interested if we did it again next season.
For those in Auckland, Banksia are not
invasive in the Waikato and for the native purist, we are not planting Banksia
in our gully, as it is a native flora reserve and yes there are natives that
feed Tui but this is about attracting Tui into the city not just feeding them
and Tui find Banksia very attractive during the winter period.
