The red new growth of the stems and branches are an attractive feature of the tree. Juvenile leaves are ovate to lanceolate becoming glossy green. Adult leaves are glossy, thick and lanceolate to 150 mm long and 30 mm wide.
Flower buds 23 mm long and 11 mm wide ovate to urn-shaped. Cream, white-yellow flowers sometimes ageing to pink occur in winter to summer.
Endemic to the southern parts of Western Australia and South Australia.
Prefers a well-drained soil in an open sunny position, drought and frost resistant.
Although seed can be sown most of the year around if you avoid the coldest and hottest months of the year, the best time to sow is generally spring.
- The grow mix should be free draining preferably with some organic compost well mix through. This will replicate the soil they require in nature.
- Potting mix is not recommended.
- Sow fine seeds on the surface and cover lightly with the grow mix, do not bury the seed deeply.
- For larger seed sow to a depth of the seed size.
- Water with a fine mist spray to avoid disturbance of the seed.
Germination generally occurs in around 10-28 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
*Please note:
- Please do not be too hasty to discard seeds that do not germinate; seeds will often lay dormant until the conditions are similar to their natural germination requirements.
- As with all seeds, they 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.
- The customer should do their due diligence that they are suited to their region
