Top Tips for Growing Kauri Trees

For optimal growth, plant kauri trees in a sheltered spot with well-draining soil. Water young trees regularly until established, then reduce frequency to occasional deep watering. Avoid heavy fertilization, as kauri trees are sensitive to nutrient imbalances. Prune lower branches to encourage upward growth and maintain a clear trunk. Monitor for pests like scale insects and treat infestations promptly to protect the tree’s health.
