Caring for Eucalyptus baueriana

Watering: Water regularly after planting until the tree is established. It's drought-tolerant when mature, but occasional deep watering during dry spells will benefit the tree.

Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Ensure the mulch doesn't touch the trunk.

Pruning: Conduct light pruning to shape the tree and remove dead or diseased branches. This is best done during its dormant period.

Fertilizing: An annual application of a balanced fertilizer in the spring can promote vigorous growth.

Pest and Disease Watch: Be vigilant for common eucalyptus pests like aphids and leaf-eating beetles.
