Grass Tree

An extremely long lived and slow growing native plant. Frost tolerant, hardy, and once established they are drought tolerant.
Black trunk from bushfires.
Often grows a tall spike which develops tiny white flowers during winter and spring. After flowering, grass trees may remain dormant for several months.
Trunk grows approximately 1cm per year. A tree with 100cm trunk height = approx 100 years old. In better soils grass trees may grow faster, flower more often, and develop thicker heads of grass.

Plant out carefully
- In well draining soil or raised beds
- In full sun or part shade
- Do not leave pot on the tree when planting grass tree in the ground unless you plan to care for it with very regular watering and fertilising
- Minimise disturbance to roots when planting. Cut the pot away from the roots instead of loosening the pot by rolling etc.
- Backfill hole so tree is solid in the ground
- Water in well. Maintain some moisture in soil with regular watering for at least 12 months or until stablished.
- Can use native fertilisers and seaweed products
