Nothofagus obliqua Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open well-drained loamy soil in a sunny position[1, 200]. Succeeds on most soils, including sandy ones[188], but dislikes calcareous soils[11]. Prefers a pH between 5 and 7, but dislikes acid peats[200]. Plants can be damaged in severe winters when young but they become hardier with age. They succeed at Crarae in western Scotland[191]. Prefers a cool wet summer in a temperate maritime climate[200] but it also does well in a mediterranean climate with as little as 400mm of rain a year[200]. A very ornamental tree[1], it often self-sows in Britain[11]. Responds well to coppicing[11]. Trees have poor wind resistance in Britain, probably because they grow so fast[11]. Trees up to 4 metres tall can be successfully established, though the optimum size for transplanting is about 30 - 80cm. The roots are very sensitive to dessication and extreme care should be taken when moving plants[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
