Thrives Guaranteed or We Fix It

• Native to Queensland and northern New South Wales, this slow-growing grass tree is an iconic symbol of Australian bushland. The trunk develops distinctive fire-resistant bark over many years.
• Features long, thin, grass-like leaves that cascade from the trunk top in fountain-like clusters. Mature specimens may produce spectacular tall flower spikes after fire or stress.
• Extremely drought tolerant once established, making it perfect for water-wise gardens and xeriscaping projects. Can live for hundreds of years with minimal care.
• The 11-15cm trunk size represents several years of growth, giving you a head start on this notoriously slow-growing Australian icon.

• Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings - typically every 2-3 weeks in growing season, less in winter.
• Position in full sun to partial shade location with good air circulation and protection from strong winds during establishment.
• Plant in sandy, well-draining soil mixed with gravel or coarse sand - avoid heavy clay or moisture-retentive potting mixes.
• Feed with low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser once or twice per year in spring and autumn - over-fertilising can harm growth.
• Remove dead or damaged fronds by cutting close to trunk - avoid pulling as this can damage the growing point.
• Mulch lightly around base but keep mulch away from trunk to prevent moisture buildup and pest issues.

• Provide full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and compact foliage development. Morning sun with afternoon protection works well in harsh climates.
• Water sparingly once established, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings. Young plants need more frequent watering until root system develops.
• Plant in well-draining sandy or gravelly soil with excellent drainage to prevent root rot. Avoid heavy, clay-based soils that retain moisture.
• Protect from strong winds during establishment phase to prevent trunk damage. Mulch lightly around base but keep mulch away from trunk.

• Overwatering causes root rot and trunk decay - ensure excellent drainage and allow soil to dry between waterings. Check for soft, darkened trunk sections which indicate water stress.
• Scale insects may attach to foliage - treat with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap applied directly to affected areas. Regular inspection helps catch infestations early.
• Poor drainage leads to fungal issues and yellowing fronds - improve soil structure with sand and gravel amendments. Avoid planting in heavy clay or waterlogged areas.
