Ensuring A Strong Start

  • Dig a hole that is the same depth as the root ball and at least twice as wide.
  • Place the tree in the hole at the correct depth.
  • Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and add mulch to conserve moisture.

Root Ball Dimensions (Width × Depth) for Planting

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

Caring for Allocasuarina torulosa:

  • Water regularly during the first few years to establish a deep root system.
  • Fertilize with a slow-release, low-phosphorus fertilizer in early spring.
  • Prune as needed to remove dead or damaged branches and to maintain the tree's natural form.

Growing Your Allocasuarina torulosa - River She Oak in Various Soil Types

How to Grow in Different Soil Types

Allocasuarina torulosa is highly adaptable but prefers well-drained soil:

Sandy Soil: Excellent drainage but may need mulching and organic matter to retain moisture.

Clay Soil: Can retain too much water—improve with compost and sand for better aeration.

Loamy Soil: Ideal for strong root development and rapid growth.

Acidic or Alkaline Soil: Tolerates a wide pH range, but slightly acidic to neutral is best.
