Hi All

This tree has been in the ground 13months, it has been fertilised, wetta
soil, mulch but it just doesnt look as others in the neigbourhood. The
leaves are tinged with brown on the ends & it just doesnt look like I think
it should, I know its young so it has growing to do.
thanks
Sandra

I'm in Melbourne SE suburbs, mine is going strong. It only around 12
months to establish itself, but it took another couple of years until
I could remove the stakes holding it up. The head was just too large
for the trunk to hold.
It gets fairly regular water (at least it used to) and it's mulched,
but I've never fertilised it. It does tend to drop it's leaves pretty
early and suddenly, but no sign of that yet.
