Ensuring A Strong Start

How to Plant Fraxinus griffithii:

Site Selection: Given its adaptable nature, this tree thrives in a variety of soils but prefers well-drained conditions.
Soil Preparation: Mix the native soil with compost to create a fertile foundation for planting.
Hole Digging: Excavate a hole roughly twice as wide as the tree's root ball and of the same depth.
Planting: Position the tree ensuring its straight alignment, fill in with soil, and water generously.

Root Ball Dimensions (Width × Depth) for Planting

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.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

Caring for Fraxinus griffithii:

Watering: The tree demands consistent watering during its initial stages. Mature trees can withstand shorter dry spells.
Mulching: To retain soil moisture and curb weed growth, spread a mulch layer around the tree, ensuring it doesn't touch the trunk.
Pruning: Pruning isn't frequently required; however, occasional trimming helps in removing any dead or unruly branches.
