This 3D model was originally created with Sketchup 8 and then converted to all other 3D formats. Native format is .skp; 3dsmax scene is 3ds Max 2016 version, rendered with Vray 3.00 Saw Banksia presents a distinctive character, shaped by gnarled and twisted limbs that define its low-growing, unassuming form. Coastal regions provide the ideal habitat for this tree or shrub, thriving in small trees or spreading out as rugged, hardy shrubs on exposed coastal cliffs. Noted for many unique characteristics, Saw Banksia has evolved remarkable defenses against wildfires, including a fire-resistant bark that mimics the texture and appearance of cork, measuring six centimeters in thickness. The tree's extraordinary resilience extends to its ability to collect water and essential nutrients within its subterranean lignotuber, allowing it to recover even from intense bushfires by leveraging stored resources. It takes several years for Saw Banksia to bloom with vibrant flowers, offering a delayed yet rewarding spectacle. Native to Eastern Australia, this resilient plant grows as high as 15 meters when allowed to develop fully, though shrub form reaches up to three meters in stature.
