Ekebergia is a medium-sized, deciduous tree characterized by its lush, dense canopy of pinnate leaves. The leaves often display a glossy texture and a vibrant green hue that turns reddish-orange in autumn. Small, fragrant white flowers cluster in prominent displays, drawing various pollinators. Ekebergia thrives in well-drained soils and typically flourishes under full sun exposure, adapting well to different environmental conditions.
Water:
Originating from arid regions, ekebergia exhibits excellent drought tolerance, thriving with watering every 2-3 weeks. It prefers well-draining soil to prevent root rot in rainy seasons, ensuring it maintains adequate hydration without waterlogging.
Propagation:
Propagation of ekebergia involves seed sowing and semi-hardwood cuttings, requiring optimal light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Seed dormancy may need treatments like scarification or cold stratification. Moderate difficulty arises from germination and establishment challenges. Follow proper planting, moisture, and temperature guidelines for success.
