Planting Distance

Height at Maturity

Waterhousia floribunda can grow to approximately 8m–10m+ tall, depending on conditions and pruning.

It can also be maintained lower as a tall hedge or privacy screen with regular trimming.

Environmental Requirements

Soil: Prefers well-drained soil with regular moisture, especially while establishing.

Climate: Well suited to warm, temperate, and coastal garden conditions.

Durability: Hardy once established and suitable for general Sydney garden conditions.

Care

Water regularly after planting until the roots are established. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and keep the root zone cool.

Apply a slow-release fertiliser during the warmer growing months to encourage strong, healthy growth.

Trimming

Waterhousia floribunda can be trimmed to encourage thicker growth and maintained as a tall hedge or privacy screen.

Major trimming and shaping is best done during Spring and Summer, while the plant is actively growing.
