ANGOPHORA costata 100g
Smooth Barked Apple Gum
Family: Myrtaceae
Characteristics: Tree 15-25 m
Seed per packet: 20
Seed per gram: Approx. 50
An attractive tree with showy white flowers occurs profusely in large bunches. The individual flowers are about 2 cm wide with five tooth-like sepals, five larger semi-circular petals, and a large number of long stamens.
A feature of this tree is its stunning smooth pink bark and gnarled branches. The old bark is shed in spring in large flakes with the new salmon-pink bark turning to pale grey before the next shedding.
Endemic to New South Wales and Queensland.
Prefers light to heavy soil in an open sunny position. It is drought and frost-resistant.
Although seeds can be sown most of the year if you avoid the coldest and hottest months, spring is generally the best time to sow.
The grow mix should be well-draining, preferably with organic compost. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
A potting mix is not recommended.
- Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix or vermicule. Do not bury the seed deeply.
- For larger seeds, sow to a depth of the seed size.
- Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
Germination occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty in discarding seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until conditions are like their natural germination requirements.
- All seeds must have adequate water to germinate; keep them moist but not too wet.
- These growth notes are provided as guidance only and do not guarantee successful germination.
- Customers should do their due diligence and ensure they are suited to their region.
