Learn About Your New Corymbia eximia - Bloodwood

Corymbia eximia (Bloodwood) is an impressive Australian native tree that looks excellent as a focal point in large gardens, parks, and streetscapes. Its tall, upright form with lance-shaped evergreen leaves and bright white-cream flowers offers a striking seasonal display that attracts native birds and pollinators.

This hardy tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates light frost, poor soils, and drought once established. Low maintenance and adaptable, it suits a range of landscapes where longevity and biodiversity support are valued.

They look excellent when planted as feature trees or in naturalistic parkland settings. Underplanting with native groundcovers or grasses enhances the textural contrast and supports local wildlife.

Planting Tips

Plant Spacing

Hedging & Screening: Plant 2.5 m – 3.5 m apart for light screening.

Feature Tree: 3.5 m – 5 m spacing to show broad canopy and vibrant flowers.

Avenue Planting Trees: 5 m – 6 m apart.

Ensuring A Strong Start

Select the Ideal Spot: Choose a sunny location in your garden with well-draining soil.

Prepare the Planting Hole: Dig a hole that's as deep and wide as the root ball of your Bloodwood tree.

Plant Carefully: Position the tree in the hole, ensuring it sits at the same depth as it was in the container.

Backfill with Soil: Fill the hole with soil and gently pack it down to remove air pockets.

Thorough Watering: Give your newly planted tree a good soaking to help it settle in.

Mulch for Moisture: Apply mulch around the base of the tree to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

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

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the initial years of growth. Bloodwood becomes more drought-tolerant with age.

Minimal Pruning: Bloodwood typically requires minimal pruning. Only remove dead or damaged branches during dormancy.

Pest and Disease Monitoring: While generally resilient, watch for signs of white leaf and shoot blight.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.

Growing Your Corymbia Eximia in Various Soil Types

Enhancing Soil for Robust Growth and Aromatic Leaves

Ideal Drainage: Thrives in well-drained, sandy to loamy soils.

Well-Draining Soil: Crucial for their health, particularly to prevent root diseases.

If you have the following soil, here are some tips for you:

  • Sandy Soil: Naturally well-suited; maintain low fertility as high nutrients can reduce leaf oil quality.
  • Clay Soil: Not ideal; heavily amend with sand and organic material to improve drainage.
  • Loamy Soil: Ensure good drainage; avoid excessive water to mimic their natural habitat.
  • Peaty Soil: Generally too moisture-retentive; amend with sand and ensure regular drainage.
