Weeping Paperbark

Planting Instructions

1. Sow seeds in spring or early summer when temperatures are warm.
2. Surface sow onto a moist, well-draining seed-raising mix – seeds need light to germinate.
3. Mist gently to keep the surface damp until germination (14-28 days).
4. Pot on seedlings once they are large enough to handle.
5. Plant out in a sunny position with deep, moisture-retentive soil.
6. Allow plenty of space – mature trees develop a broad, weeping canopy.

Care Tips

• Water generously while establishing and through dry periods – tolerates seasonally wet ground beautifully.
• Prefers warm to hot climates – best suited to tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate gardens.
• Mulch heavily to keep roots cool and retain moisture.
• Excellent beside ponds, dams or in low-lying parts of the garden that occasionally flood.
• Light formative pruning when young encourages a balanced, graceful canopy.
• Plant away from drains, footpaths and house foundations given the vigorous root system.
