How to Plant Eucalyptus pauciflora

Site Selection: While it's adaptable to various soil types, a well-draining soil is beneficial. Ideal for cooler, elevated areas given its snow tolerance.

Soil Preparation: Enrich the soil with compost or organic matter for better growth.

Hole Digging: Create a hole about twice the width of the root ball.

Planting: Set the tree in the hole, ensuring it stands straight. Fill in, tamp down the soil to expel air pockets, and water generously.

Mulching: Add a thick layer of organic mulch around the base, ensuring you leave space around the trunk. This will help with moisture retention and reduce weed competition.

Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed, but you can trim for shape or to remove damaged or dead limbs.

After Planting: It's crucial to water it daily right after planting to ensure a healthy establishment.
