Plant Growing Tips

Where to Grow

Elaeocarpus reticulatus 'Prima Donna' prospers in full sun to partial shade. It is suitable for growing in gardens, as a feature tree, or as a hedge. Ensure the location has well-draining soil and good air circulation to prevent disease.

Climate

Elaeocarpus reticulatus prefers a warm, temperate to subtropical climate. It can tolerate light frost once established but should be protected from severe frost and cold winds. Ideal temperatures range between 10-30°C.

Soil Type

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.

Fertilizer

Fertilise your Elaeocarpus reticulatus 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.
