Fraser Island Apple thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is suitable for growing in gardens, as a feature tree, or in coastal areas. Ensure the location has well-draining soil and good air circulation to prevent disease.
Fraser Island Apple prefers a warm, coastal to subtropical climate. It can tolerate light frost but should be protected from severe frost and cold winds. Ideal temperatures range between 10-30°C.
Use a well-draining soil. Sandy or loamy soils with good organic matter are ideal. This plant is tolerant of poor soils but will flourish in richer conditions. Ensure the soil remains moderately moist but not waterlogged.
Fertilise your Fraser Island Apple with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in spring. Additional feeding can be done during the growing season with a liquid fertiliser if the plant appears to need a boost.
