Growing Eucalyptus petiolaris in Perth
Plant in full sun with good drainage. It is well suited to Perth’s warm, dry climate and generally performs best when planted directly into the ground rather than kept in constantly wet soil.
Water regularly during establishment, particularly through Perth’s hot summer months. Once established, gradually reduce watering as the plant becomes more drought tolerant.
Avoid heavy, poorly drained soils and improve drainage if necessary before planting.
