Exotic trees

Yes! Australian native plants and exotic plants sit alongside each other beautifully. The maintenance requirements of plants are determined by the species, not the country of origin.

You'll need to take into consideration several factors, such as:

• Does the placement of your tree enhance the visual aspect of your landscape?
• Biological requirements which relate to the tree's ability to tolerate the geographical conditions.
• Functional issues like if the placement of the tree allow for you to prune it effectively
• Will the root system impact any infrastructure or plumbing?

If you're still unsure about where to plant your exotic tree, ask our friendly team for advice. We've had plenty of experience in moving trees and finding optimal positions for them in any landscape.

Trees don't usually need much maintenance once you've planted them — especially not compared to other plants. But there are some things you can do from time to time to ensure they thrive.

Once you've planted your tree, you'll need to make sure it's watered every day for up to two weeks. And if you add mulch around the base of the tree, it will help it stay moist and prevent weeds from growing.

Once they are planted, trees generally require less maintenance than other plants in your garden. They will require very little in the way of protection from the elements. However, they can still benefit from a bit of maintenance every now and again. If you trim damaged branches every few months, this will help your tree direct nourishment to the healthy branches.
