About Corymbia Eximia

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, Spacing & Care

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.

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.

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.

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.

Corymbia Eximia is expected to grow Approx. 30 – 60 cm per year.
