How to Prune Hairpin banksia?
(Banksia spinulosa)
Hairpin banksia, also known as Hairpin banksia
This distinctive shrub, recognizable by its wiry, hairpin-like inflorescences, benefits from selective pruning to maintain shape and promote vigorous growth. For hairpin banksia, the ideal pruning period is late spring to early summer, after flowering has ceased to encourage new blooms. Regularly remove spent flower spikes and deadwood, and lightly shape the plant. This not only enhances the shrub's appearance but also stimulates new growth and supports its health.
