It likes humidity and rain in the growing season, once the flowers and leaves emerge. Protect young trees from frost. It suits sheltered, frost free gardens in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate coast, and as a rule of thumb, where a jacaranda grows, this tree usually will too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining soil.

After that, water an established tree only if summer is very hot and dry. A light application of slow release fertiliser in spring suits a young tree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Stake young plants.

A tube tree is small, so plant it into prepared ground soon after it arrives and stake it. It is slow growing, which makes it a long term plant, though it flowers when quite young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tube is supplied by our grower, so it is not always in stock. While there is none it shows as sold out, and pressing the notify button on this page sends you an email the day it is available again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
