How to grow Toona ciliata

Toona ciliata, or Australian Red Cedar, grows best in warm, sheltered areas with full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Plant in spring or autumn, ensuring the location is protected from strong winds and heavy frost, especially when the plant is young. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as the tree matures. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in winter to shape if needed. This fast-growing deciduous tree can reach over 20 metres in ideal conditions.
