Enhancing Soil for Robust Growth and Aromatic Leaves

Ideal Drainage: Thrives in well-drained, sandy to loamy soils.

Well-Draining Soil: Crucial for their health, particularly to prevent root diseases.

If you have the following soil, here are some tips for you:

• Sandy Soil: Naturally well-suited; maintain low fertility as high nutrients can reduce leaf oil quality.
• Clay Soil: Not ideal; heavily amend with sand and organic material to improve drainage.
• Loamy Soil: Ensure good drainage; avoid excessive water to mimic their natural habitat.
• Peaty Soil: Generally too moisture-retentive; amend with sand and ensure regular drainage.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the initial years of growth. Bloodwood becomes more drought-tolerant with age.

Minimal Pruning: Bloodwood typically requires minimal pruning. Only remove dead or damaged branches during dormancy.

Pest and Disease Monitoring: While generally resilient, watch for signs of white leaf and shoot blight.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth.
