Gaultheria tricophylla Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers a moist but not boggy humus rich soil in sun or semi-shade[11]. A peat and moisture loving species, it requires a lime-free soil[11]. Prefers a fairly light open position so long as the soil is kept moist[11]. This species is not hardy in the colder areas of the country, it tolerates temperatures down to between -5 and -10°c[200]. This species does not always fruit well in Britain[11]. The plant can make a good nesting place for mice, these mice then eat the bark of the stems in winter causing die-back. The bruised leaves release a hot, aromatic fragrance[245]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. For further Gaultheria tricophylla gardening information |
