Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Australian Red Cedar - Toona ciliata
One of Australia's most distinguished native deciduous trees, Toona ciliata delivers commanding scale, a broad spreading canopy, and exceptional longevity. At advanced size, it arrives ready to anchor a landscape with immediate presence and enduring structure.
Why Australian Red Cedar
Broad, architectural canopy: Develops a sweeping crown that provides deep, cooling shade across large open areas.
Australian native provenance: Naturally adapted to local climates with strong establishment performance across a range of conditions.
Seasonal character: Fresh growth in spring, dense summer foliage, and clean leaf drop in autumn add rhythm to any formal or naturalistic composition.
Generational specimen: A tree that increases in grandeur and property value with each passing decade.
Low ongoing demand: Once established, requires minimal intervention, making it well-suited to large-scale professional installations.
Ideal Applications
Prestige feature planting: A singular specimen positioned on open lawn creates an immediate focal point on high-end residential and rural properties.
Avenue and arrival sequences: Planted in consistent rows, Red Cedar establishes powerful linear structure along driveways and estate entries.
Shade canopy for open spaces: Scaled appropriately for parks, acreage, and large commercial or institutional landscapes.
Naturalistic and bushland-edge compositions: Integrates with native planting schemes where scale and seasonal movement are design priorities.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 10–15m
Planting Season: Spring to early summer
Soil & Drainage: Deep, fertile, well-drained loamy soils; tolerates a range of soil types but performs best with consistent moisture and good drainage
Establishment Care: Water deeply and regularly for the first 12–24 months until established, particularly during dry periods. Apply a thick layer of mulch around the base to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch clear of the trunk.
