Toona ciliata, commonly known as the Australian Red Cedar, is a large deciduous tree native to southern Asia and Australia. It is valued for its high-quality timber and is often found in seasonally dry tropical climates. The tree can grow up to 60 meters tall and has a spreading crown. It undergoes a dormancy period during the dry season.
Toona ciliata requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a humid environment. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. The tree is best suited for outdoor growth in a tropical or subtropical climate.
Bodem
Toona ciliata prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. The soil should be kept moderately moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Kunstmest
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is recommended. Fertilize the tree during the growing season to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to nutrient imbalances.
Verpotten
Repotting is generally not necessary for Toona ciliata as it is a large tree. However, young saplings can be repotted to larger containers to accommodate growth. Repot during the early growing season, ensuring the new container has good drainage.
Voortplanting
Toona ciliata can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining soil mix and kept moist until germination. Cuttings can be taken from semi-hardwood branches and rooted in a suitable medium.
Snoeien
Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and health of the tree. Prune during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the tree.
Toxiciteit
Toona ciliata is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is advisable to prevent pets and children from ingesting any part of the plant.
Aanvullend
Toona ciliata is highly valued for its timber, which is used in furniture making and construction. The tree is also known for its resistance to pests and diseases, making it a relatively low-maintenance option for tropical and subtropical gardens.
