Ehretia dicksonii Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a moderately fertile well-drained sandy loam in a sunny position[200]. Requires a sheltered position[200]. Plants are shade tolerant in continental climates but they require more sun in maritime areas in order to ripen the wood[200]. Rich fertile soils tend to encourage soft sappy growth which is then subject to frost damage over winter[200]. Succeeds on chalky soils[200]. Mature plants are frost hardy, though young plants are often cut back by the frost[200]. The young growth in spring is also susceptible to frost-damage[K]. A tree was 6 metres tall at Kew in 1989[K]. The flowers, which are borne on the ripened wood of the previous season's growth, emit a powerful spicy fragrance[245]. For further Ehretia dicksonii gardening information |
