How to Plant Elaeocarpus Eumundi

Site Selection: Opt for a location with well-draining soil; however, this tree is adaptable to a range of soil types. Soil Preparation: While it adapts to most soils, adding organic compost can give it a good start. Hole Digging: Dig a hole about twice as wide and deep as the root ball. Planting: Place the tree in the hole, ensuring it's at the same depth as it was in the container, backfill with soil, and water well.
