    About Corymbia eximia 'Nana'

    Corymbia eximia 'Nana' is the dwarf form of the Yellow Bloodwood, a small evergreen native tree with a rounded, densely held canopy. The broad blue-green leaves sit above pale, flaky bark, and clusters of creamy white flowers open through spring. Growth is naturally compact, so the tree keeps its shape without much intervention.

    It grows at roughly 40 to 60 centimetres a year in full sun to part shade, and prefers soil that drains freely. Once established it handles dry spells well and copes with light to moderate frost, which suits warm temperate, subtropical and inland districts. Maintenance comes down to occasional shaping and a spring feed.

    Councils and developers use it as a street tree under powerlines, in car park islands and in median strips where a full sized bloodwood would never fit. It also works as a single feature in a courtyard, or as a shade tree on a rural block. Small footprint, genuine canopy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    About Corymbia eximia 'Nana'

    What is Corymbia eximia 'Nana'?

    It is a dwarf selection of the Yellow Bloodwood, a small evergreen Australian native tree in the Myrtaceae family. It carries broad blue-green foliage on a rounded, dense canopy, with creamy white flowers through spring that bring in honeyeaters and lorikeets. The pale flaky bark gives it interest through the rest of the year.

    How big does Corymbia eximia 'Nana' grow?

    Expect about 4 to 6 metres in height with a canopy spread of 3 to 4 metres in an average garden. That is roughly a third of the size of the standard Yellow Bloodwood, which can pass 15 metres. Final height depends on soil depth and water, with trees on shallow dry sites staying at the lower end.

    How fast does it grow?

    Around 40 to 60 centimetres a year once the root system is away, which is moderate for a native tree. The first two summers set the pace, so deep watering through that period pays off later. Growth slows as the tree nears mature height, and the canopy thickens rather than continuing to climb.

    Does it need sun or shade?

    Full sun is best and gives the heaviest flowering and the densest canopy. It will grow in part shade, but the crown opens up and flower numbers drop away. Avoid planting it on the south side of a tall building or under an established canopy where it will only ever get an hour or two of direct light.

    Is it frost tolerant?

    Yes. Once established it handles light to moderate frost, which covers most temperate and inland districts. Young trees are more exposed, so protect them through the first winter or two with frost cloth or a sheltered position. It also takes heat and dry conditions, making it a dependable choice for inland gardens.

    How far apart should I plant it for an avenue?

    Space trees 3 metres apart for an even avenue where the canopies just meet, or 3 to 4 metres apart where each tree is meant to stand alone and show its full form. On narrow verges stick to the wider spacing so root plates and canopies are not competing with each other.

    How do I care for Corymbia eximia 'Nana'?

    Water deeply once or twice a week through the first two summers, then only in long dry spells. Mulch out to the drip line but keep it clear of the trunk. A low phosphorus native fertiliser in early spring is enough. Prune lightly after flowering to lift the crown or remove crossing branches.

    Long Term Care For Your Corymbia eximia 'Nana'

    Watering: Water deeply twice weekly through the first 12 months. Once established, this is drought tolerant and only needs a deep soak during extended dry periods.

    Mulching: Apply a 5 to 7 centimetre layer of organic mulch over the root zone, keeping it 5 centimetres clear of the trunk.

    Pruning: Minimal pruning required. Light tip prune in late winter to maintain shape, and remove lower branches as the tree grows to develop a clean feature trunk.

    Fertilising: Apply a slow-release native blend in early spring and again in autumn. Avoid high-phosphorus formulations as a precaution.

    Pest and disease: Hardy against most pests and diseases. Occasional inspection in warm humid conditions is all that's needed.

    Plant Your Corymbia eximia 'Nana' With:

    Enriched Planting Mix (AO Certified)

    Enriched Planting Mix is a certified organic blend of Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, gypsum, composted coarse bark and a wetting agent, bagged in 30L. It is built to be dug through existing garden soil at planting time rather than used on its own, and the gypsum is what sets it apart from a plain compost.

    Gypsum helps break up heavy clay so water and roots can move through it, while the compost and manure return organic matter and nutrient to tired ground. The coarse bark holds structure and keeps air around the root zone, and the wetting agent keeps moisture in the soil longer after rain or watering.

    Use it when planting trees, shrubs, roses, fruit trees and exotic garden plants, particularly into clay. Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and 7 centimetres deeper, then mix roughly one third planting mix through the excavated soil. Spread 7 centimetres of that improved soil in the base before setting the plant in.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    About Enriched Planting Mix

    What is Enriched Planting Mix made from?

    It is a blend of Pure Magic Compost, composted animal manure, gypsum, composted coarse bark and a wetting agent. Each part has a job. The compost and manure supply organic matter and nutrient, the gypsum works on clay structure, the bark keeps air around the roots and the wetting agent holds moisture in the soil.

    What plants is it suitable for?

    It suits exotic garden plants, including roses, ornamental and deciduous trees, fruit trees, shrubs and perennials, and it earns its keep most on heavy clay sites. It is a planting mix rather than a potting mix, so its job is improving soil at planting time. Phosphorus sensitive natives are the one clear exception.

    Is it safe for natives?

    No, not for the phosphorus sensitive ones. The composted animal manure in this blend lifts phosphorus well above what Proteaceae such as Banksia, Grevillea, Hakea and Protea will tolerate, and the result can be leaf burn, dieback and plant death. Use the Native Potting Mix for those species, or plant them into unimproved local soil.

    Is it certified organic?

    Yes. It is a certified organic product with no chemical additives, which is why the manure and compost in it are fully composted rather than raw. That makes it sound around fruit trees and vegetable beds, and it means you are adding genuine organic matter to your soil rather than a synthetic conditioner.

    How much do I need?

    Work on roughly one third planting mix to two thirds of the soil you dug out of the hole. For a shrub out of a 200 millimetre pot that is only a few litres. An advanced tree going into a large hole will take considerably more. Judge the quantity by the volume of the hole rather than the size of the plant.

    Can I use it in pots?

    It is not a potting mix and should not be used on its own in a container. The blend is designed to be diluted through garden soil, and used straight in a pot it holds too much water and settles badly. For containers, reach for a premium potting mix, or the native mix if you are potting natives.

    Does it need to be watered in?

    Yes. Water the plant well several hours before you plant it, then water thoroughly again once the hole is backfilled and the soil firmed down. That first deep watering settles the improved soil around the root ball and drives out air pockets. Keep the water up over the first few months while the roots establish.
