Coastal Trees

Finding trees that can flourish in Perth’s coastal soils can be a challenge. We have deep, sandy soils that can play havoc with tree growth if you don’t plan correctly.

Soil Wetting: if you’ve tried to water-in a plant or tree and seen the Perth soil literally repelling the water, you’ll know what what we mean when we say that wetting agents have their place in a Perth garden!

Soil Improvement: to help with water and nutrient accessibility, you need to consider soil improvement with organic matter.

pH: If you have low pH soil, unless you are growing Banksiaa you aren’t going to win any garden awards, so get your soil tested and see if you need to adjust you soil acidity to match your chosen varieties.

If you’d like help choosing the right plants and trees for your Perth coastal garden, we’d love to help – simply email or call us with your questions.
