☀️ Care in Perth
Position: Full sun is best. Allow plenty of room for the mature canopy.
Soil: Excellent drainage is essential. It performs particularly well in Perth’s sandy soils. Avoid heavy, poorly drained clay.
Water: Water deeply and regularly while establishing. Once established, it is highly drought tolerant and generally requires little supplementary watering.
Fertiliser: Usually requires very little fertiliser. If needed, use a low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser in spring. Avoid regular high-phosphorus fertilisers.
Pruning: Generally requires minimal pruning. Remove dead or damaged branches and shape only when necessary.
