{"title":"Grass Trees","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrass trees are among the most recognisable Australian native plants, with a fountain of fine, wiry leaves, tall flower spikes and, in time, a dark trunk. They belong to the genus Xanthorrhoea, grow very slowly and can live for centuries. In a garden they are a sculptural feature for a sunny, well drained spot or a large pot. Choose by the species suited to your climate and whether you want a trunk forming or tufted plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose a grass tree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/products\/grass-tree-xanthorrhoea-glauca\"\u003eGrass Tree\u003c\/a\u003e, Xanthorrhoea glauca, comes from eastern New South Wales and Queensland. It has blue grey foliage, forms a trunk with age and is one of the more adaptable and frost tolerant species for gardens. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mount-lofty-grass-tree-xanthorrhoea-quadrangulata\"\u003eMount Lofty Grass Tree\u003c\/a\u003e is a South Australian species from rocky hills and ranges, which also develops a trunk over time and is well suited to dry summer climates. The \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tufted-grass-tree-xanthorrhoea-semiplana\"\u003eTufted Grass Tree\u003c\/a\u003e comes from South Australia and western Victoria and usually stays low, with little or no trunk, so it reads as a large tussock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNursery grown grass trees are raised from seed in pots. They establish far more reliably than plants dug from the wild, because their roots are intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere grass trees grow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrass trees need full sun or very light shade and sharp drainage. They are naturals for slopes, raised beds, rockeries and sandy or gravelly soil, and they handle heat, wind and dry spells once established. Poor drainage is the main cause of failure, as the roots are prone to rot in wet soil. In humid summer rainfall areas, drainage and air movement matter even more, so plant on a mound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey look right with other \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/australian-natives\"\u003eAustralian natives\u003c\/a\u003e, and they fit any planting of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/drought-tolerant-plants\"\u003edrought tolerant plants\u003c\/a\u003e. The flower spikes are rich in nectar and draw bees, birds and butterflies, so they earn a place among \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/native-bee-plants\"\u003enative bee plants\u003c\/a\u003e too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting and spacing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrass trees resent root disturbance, so planting is the step to get right. Dig a hole a little wider than the pot and build the base up so the plant will sit slightly above the surrounding soil. Do not tease out or trim the roots. Cut the pot away or slide the root ball out whole, set it in place, backfill with the original soil and water in. Do not add manure or rich compost to the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAllow at least a metre and a half around each plant so the skirt of foliage can spread and be seen. Mulch with gravel or coarse bark, kept clear of the base. In a pot, use a free draining native potting mix and a container with plenty of drainage holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare basics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWater regularly through the first two summers, letting the soil dry a little between waterings. Once established, grass trees need watering only in extended dry weather. Avoid any fertiliser rich in phosphorus. A light dressing of a low phosphorus native fertiliser in spring is enough, and many plants grow well with none.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGrowth is very slow, with the trunk gaining only a centimetre or two a year, so a trunked specimen is a plant of great age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow fast do grass trees grow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery slowly. The foliage fills out over a few years, but the trunk grows roughly one to two centimetres a year, and many plants take a decade or more to begin forming one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow a grass tree in a pot?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. They grow well in a large pot with a free draining native mix, in full sun. Do not let the pot sit in a saucer of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is my grass tree going brown?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowning from the centre usually points to root rot from wet soil or to root disturbance at planting. Old outer leaves browning is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen do grass trees flower?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature plants send up a tall spike of small cream flowers, mostly in spring.

Plant it out soon after it arrives, water it in and mulch around the base without covering the crown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
