Nothofagus procera Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open well-drained loamy soil in a sunny position[1, 200]. Succeeds on most soils but dislikes calcareous soils[11]. Prefers a pH between 5 and 7 but dislikes acid peats[200]. Prefers cool wet summers in temperate maritime zones[200]. Requires at least 750mm of rain annuall[11]y. A very ornamental tree[1], it has a very good potential as a forestry tree in western Britain, responding well to coppicing[11, 200]. It can, however, be damaged by late and early frosts[98]. Grows well at Crarae in western Scotland[191]. Trees have poor wind resistance in Britain, probably because they grow so fast[11]. Trees up to 4 mertes 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 transplanting them[200]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[200].
