CORYMBIA calophylla
Marri
Family: Myrtaceae
Characteristics: Tree 10-30 m spread 5 m
Seed per packet: Approx. 5-6
Seed per gram: Approx. 6-10
Marri is usually a large tree to 30 metres but can take mallee form on poor sites. The bark is rough brown to grey-brown and often has exudations of reddish gum.
It bursts into an abundance of prominent cream flowers held outside the canopy in midsummer. It is an essential tree for honey production in Western Australia.
The common name "Marri" is from the Nyoongar word for blood, referring to the gum.
Marri occurs in various habitats, including the coastal plains and the Jarrah and Karri forests of Western Australia, in different soils.
It prefers light, sandy, well-drained soil in an open sunny position and is drought—and frost-resistant.
Quickly grown from seed.
The best time to sow members of the Myrtaceae family seed is:
Cool climates: September to May.
Temperate climates: September to May.
Sub-Tropical climates: August to May
Tropical climates: September to November or March to May.
Arid climates: August to May.
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 vermiculite. 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 seed disturbance.
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.
