Corymbia Ficifolia Wildfire Grafted

• Native Australian eucalyptus variety bred for exceptional flower colour and garden performance.
• Features distinctive smooth bark that sheds in strips, revealing colourful undertones throughout the year.
• Produces masses of vibrant orange-red flowers that attract honeyeaters, lorikeets, and native bees.
• Develops into a medium-sized tree with an upright growth habit, perfect for suburban gardens.

• Water deeply once weekly during establishment, then reduce to monthly watering during dry periods.
• Position in full sun location for optimal flowering and healthy growth.
• Plant in well-draining soil, adding coarse sand or gravel if clay soil is present.
• Feed with native plant fertiliser twice yearly in spring and autumn, avoiding high phosphorus products.
• Prune lightly in late spring after flowering, removing spent blooms and any damaged branches.
• Mulch around base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from trunk.

• Plant in full sun for best flowering and growth, tolerating partial shade but with reduced blooms.
• Water deeply but infrequently once established, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Avoid frequent shallow watering.
• Provide good drainage as waterlogged conditions can cause root problems and decline.
• Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, removing any dead or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning which can reduce flowering.

• Scale insects can attach to branches and leaves, causing yellowing and sticky honeydew. Treat with horticultural oil or systemic insecticide.
• Lerp psyllids create waxy white coverings on leaves, leading to leaf drop. Remove affected foliage and apply appropriate treatments.
• Root rot occurs in poorly drained soils, causing wilting and decline. Ensure excellent drainage and avoid overwatering.
• Eucalyptus longhorn borers can damage stressed trees. Maintain tree health and remove any infected wood promptly.
