PLANT PROFILE

Eucalyptus robusta 'Matong', known as Swamp Mahogany, is a majestic and resilient Australian native tree celebrated for its robust growth and striking presence. Growing 20–30 meters tall with a broad canopy of 10–15 meters, it thrives in swampy and wet soils, making it perfect for challenging coastal and inland sites.

With its broad, dark green leaves and clusters of creamy white flowers blooming from late winter to early spring, 'Matong' provides year-round interest and supports local wildlife. Its tall, straight trunk and hardy nature make it ideal for timber, ornamental use, windbreaks, and habitat planting.

This tree looks excellent in landscapes needing strength and grace, offering a dependable, natural touch to gardens, parks, and restoration projects where moisture and salt spray tolerance are essential. If you want a statement tree that combines durability with elegant form, Eucalyptus robusta 'Matong' is a top choice.

How to Plant Eucalyptus robusta 'Matong':

Site Selection: Ideally, a well-draining spot, but 'Matong' is notably tolerant of swampy conditions.
Soil Preparation: While it can handle varying soil types, enriching the soil with organic matter can enhance growth.
Hole Digging: The hole should be approximately twice the size of the root ball.
Planting: Set the tree in the hole, making sure it's level. Fill in with soil and provide a generous amount of water.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
