Ensuring A Strong Start

  • Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep.
  • Place the plant in the hole and fill with soil, watering thoroughly after planting.
  • Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth.

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 Melaleuca bracteata 'Revolution Green':

  • Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to establish a strong root system.
  • Fertilize with a general-purpose fertilizer in early spring to encourage new growth.
  • Prune as needed to maintain the desired shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.
