🌿 Care Instructions:

☀️ Light:

Prefers full sun, ideally receiving 6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily for strong growth and healthy canopy development. Best suited to open, sunny outdoor locations.

💧 Watering:

Water regularly during the establishment stage to encourage healthy root development.

Once established, Lebbeck Tree becomes more tolerant of dry periods but benefits from deep, regular watering during hot summers to maintain dense, healthy foliage.

Adjust irrigation according to soil conditions and local weather. Avoid prolonged severe drought and waterlogging.

🪴 Soil:

Adapts to a variety of soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. Prefers well-draining conditions and can grow in moderately fertile soil with appropriate watering and care.

🌡️ Temperature:

Thrives in warm to hot climates and tolerates high temperatures. Adequate watering is especially important during prolonged periods of extreme heat and drought. Protect young trees from severe frost and cold.

🍃 Humidity:

Adapts to dry and moderately humid conditions. Regular leaf misting is generally unnecessary. Appropriate irrigation helps maintain healthy foliage during hot weather.

🌱 Fertilizing:

Apply a balanced fertilizer or a moderate amount of organic compost during the growing season if needed, depending on soil conditions and product instructions. Avoid excessive fertilization to maintain balanced growth.

✂️ Pruning:

Light structural pruning during the early growth stages helps develop a strong trunk and well-spaced branches. Remove dead, weak, damaged, or crossing branches when necessary. Avoid excessive pruning.

🌸 Blooming Season:

Lebbeck Tree produces clusters of fragrant, creamy-colored flowers during warmer growing seasons. Flowering time and intensity depend on tree maturity, local climate, and growing conditions.

📏 Product Dimensions:

• Tree Height: 300 cm.
• Tree Width: 50 cm.
• Pot Height: 30 cm.

⚠️ Planting Guidelines:

Lebbeck Tree requires adequate growing space, as its canopy and root system can become extensive with maturity. Plant at a suitable distance from buildings, paving, underground pipes, and utility lines.

The tree is deciduous to semi-deciduous depending on local conditions. Seasonal leaf drop may occur during dry periods or seasonal changes. It also produces seed pods that may remain attached to the branches for some time.

📌 Please Note:

Tree size, foliage density, canopy shape, and flower quantity may naturally vary from the images shown due to seasonal changes, growth stages, and individual growing conditions.

Growth, foliage density, and flowering also depend on sunlight exposure, temperature, watering, soil conditions, and proper pruning. Young trees may be supplied with sparse foliage or without flowers depending on the season.
