How to Plant Eucalyptus melliodora 35AP

Site Selection: Prefers sunny spots with well-draining soil but is adaptable to different soil types.

Soil Preparation: Enrich the soil with organic compost if it's too sandy or clayey, to enhance drainage and nutrient content.

Planting: Situate the tree in the hole, making sure it stands at the same depth as it was in its original container. Fill in the hole, firm down the soil, and water generously.

Watering: In the initial weeks post planting, ensure consistent watering. Once established, the tree is drought-tolerant but appreciates occasional watering during prolonged dry periods.

Mulching: Mulch around the base using organic matter, keeping a clear space from the trunk. This aids in moisture retention and deters weeds.

Pruning: Typically, limited pruning is necessary. However, if desired, unwanted growth can be removed to shape the tree.
