Eucalyptus marginata, also known as Jarrah in the Aboriginal language, is a common species found in the southwest region of Western Australia.
These trees can grow up to 40 meters tall and have a trunk width of approximately 3 meters in diameter.
The leaves are typical Eucalyptus lanceolate in shape, with a lighter vein on the outer edge. The bark of the Jarrah tree sheds in fibrous strips.
The flower buds appear in clusters and bloom as creamy white flowers during Spring.
Eucalyptus marginata is known for its natural regenerative structure, which allows it to regenerate after bushfires.
It is also an important ecological tree, providing habitats for large numbers of wildlife, especially birds and bees.
The timber from Jarrah trees is highly valued and used for flooring, panelling, fencing, and outdoor furniture. Once seasoned, it becomes very hard and durable, making it ideal for outdoor structural work.
Early settlers also used Jarrah wood as railway sleepers and exported it back to the UK, where it was also used in the London Underground. Eucalyptus marginata can live for up to 500 years.
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.
