☀️ Care in Perth Summers
- Plant in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight.
- Water deeply and regularly during hot, dry summer weather, especially while establishing.
- Established trees become relatively drought tolerant, but consistent moisture supports better flowering.
- Apply 5–8 cm of organic mulch, keeping it away from the trunk.
- Improve Perth sandy soil with compost or quality soil improver before planting.
- Apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser in spring.
- Prune during winter to remove dead, damaged or crossing branches and maintain the desired shape.
- Avoid heavy pruning that removes the natural branching structure.
