Growing and Caring for Titoki Trees

Titoki trees thrive best in well-drained soil and prefer a sunny to partly shaded location. Once established, they require little attention, apart from occasional pruning to maintain shape and remove spent branches. Young trees may need extra care during their first summers, but mature titoki are robust and seldom troubled by pests or disease. Incorporate organic mulch for moisture retention and healthy growth, and enjoy the benefits of a native tree that flourishes with minimal fuss.
