Toona ciliata - Red Cedar

There is a moth that attcks the Red Cedar's new growth- which forses the tree to fork. This makes them unsuitable to try and grow as a forestry tree for the purpose of harvesting the timber. They need to be grown under the canopy of larger tree's. | Paul Muller - Finch Hatton, QLD 26-Dec-2009

Toona ciliata - Red Cedar

Try enclosing the tip in stocking mesh (panty hose) until the top gets too high to reach by ladder. After that, when the mesh finally perishes, the tree may be vulnerable. But at least it won't fork close to the ground. | Mark O'connor - O'connor , ACT 21-Dec-2013

Red Cedar

Plant seedling in a 6m high thicket, give special care. Mine grew 6 m (& still only 70mm diameter.) Gradually remove competition. I now have them 10m high, 400mm dia. beautiful trees, no tipmoth. | Russell Butler - Black Mountain, QLD 05-Feb-2017

[3413 days 7hrs ago] I bought about 10 at the same time from Daleys, no more than 3 years ago one of them is now about 6m tall and 4m wide, the others vary with the smallest being 1m tall and 40cm wide, the largest in my garden was planted next to a secondary compost bin which i only ever use when cleaning out the main bin, they REALLY love a good compost, i took just one bucked of compost to one of the ones in the front yard it has grown about 1m in 3 months, the largest in the back yard has a trunk 20 - 30cm in diameter already! the birds seem to love it! as do I! * You need your own My Edibles Page to contribute Quick & Easy
