Watering

Moderate regular watering, avoid prolonged drought or waterlogging

Fertilizing

Balanced feed in spring and light repeat in growth season

Pruning

Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.

Propagation

Propagate by semi-ripe cuttings

Growing

Grows best in slightly acidic, moist but well drained soil in full sun, but unlike many other eucalypts will also tolerate wetter soils. Shelter from cold, drying winds especially when young. See eucalyptus cultivation
