Toona features a towering structure adorned with pinnate leaves, turning a striking red in autumn. Originally thriving in the forests of Asia and Australia, its ability to reach heights rapidly allows it to dominate sunlight, vital in its densely wooded habitats. The wood, cherished for its robustness and red hue, is a favored material in furniture-making.
Water:
Toona prefers moderate humidity and consistent moisture, needing watering every two weeks without waterlogging. Typically grown outdoors, it requires reduced water during dormancy in colder months, aligning with its deciduous nature.
Propagation:
Propagation of toona can be achieved through seed sowing and cuttings, requiring full to partial sunlight, temperate conditions, and well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Stratify seeds at 3-5°C for two months. Cuttings should use semi-hardwood, rooting hormone, and be kept humid and indirectly lit.
