1. Hi Nicole

   Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

   Heteropyxis natalensis thrives in organically enriched soil, so I’d recommend digging a generous sized hole, possible 2-3 times the size of your tree. Discard this soil and fill with a quality topsoil/compost (50:50) mix. Feed your trees with an organic fertiliser every 4 months and compost annually.

2. Hi there. My mom has a lavender tree in jbay and she’s just bought me two, I live in Wilderness. My soil is very beach sandy, need to build it up quite a bit, although the position is full sun. Hoping they will take here.

3. Thank You so much for this and yes new leaves are lovely and green
   Many thanks

4. Hi Elizabeth

   Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

   It sounds like your trees may have been affected by the very wet conditions. As long as the new leaves are healthy, it’s highly likely that your trees will shed their older leaves and recover in the drier season.

6. Hi Lize

   Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

   The minimum recommended planting distance from any structures are as follows:
   – Heteropyxis natalensis – 3m
   – Dais cotinifolia – 2m
   – Combretum krausii – 5m.

   If you don’t have sufficient space it would be best to choose another species to avoid having to deal with structural issues in the future.

7. Hallo can you tell me if I can plant a Heteropyxis Natalensis, Dias Continifolia and a Combretum krausii close to the house, boundary walls and pool? We have a small stand. I understand these trees have non-invasive roots. I read in one of your answers that they can be planted 3m from walls. But I don’t have that much space. What is the closest I can plant them to structures?

   Thanks in advance.

10. Hi Elizabeth

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    Heteropyxis natalensis bark does tend to peel off, as the tree grows so this could be natural.

    Signs of a dying tree are:
    – Unseasonal withering and loss of foliage – but this could also happen with strong winds
    – Dead branches

    There are a few other things you can check to determine what is causing the tree to show signs of dying:
    – Overwatering. This is very common in gardens and displays similar signs to underwatering
    – Underwatering. Both these can be easily determined by examining the soil around the tree.
    – Polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB) has attacked several species in Gauteng, so that could also be a possibility.

12. Hi Carmen

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    The leaves of Heteropyxis natalensis are small and tend to fall en masse towards to end of winter. The leaves do not leave a thick mat and should be left on the ground as form an excellent mulch and break down quickly to enrich the soil. Yes, you can grow lawn around this tree, but it’s probably best to have some groundcovers or allow the lawn around the tree to grow slightly longer as this will help protect the bark and root zone from damage.

    The ideal lawn to grow under trees is LM as this can tolerate lower light conditions. Note however, that the care of this lawn species is different from the traditional Kikuyu found in most South African gardens.

    The forest lavender tree (Heteropyxis canensis) has a broader leaf, tends to be a shorter and have a more dense canopy than Heteropyxis natalensis.

14. Hi Lime

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    Heteropyxis natalensis is naturally found in a variety of habitats, one of which is riverine bush. It requires well-drained soil, so check that your position will provide adequate drainage. The roots are non-aggresive and you should be able to grow Agapanthus around the tree.

20. Hi Lisa

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    With Ouklip, it’s advisable to prepare your planting hole at least twice the normal size and back fill with a quality topsoil/compost mix in order to give your tree a healthy and well-drained growing medium. Once established, the tree is likely to adapt and establish roots through the network of crevices.

21. I live in the Waterfall area, near Midrand. There is an “ouklip” rock formation throughout the area which causes soil to drain very slowly in certain areas.

    I’m keen to plant a lavender tree, but see from the hole we have dug that some of the surrounds is damp, not water pooling though.

    Can I still take a chance of planting a lavender tree, even though it is not purely well-drained soil?

24. Hi Izak

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    The growth rate of your trees will depend on several conditions which include:
    – The initial size of the trees when planted;
    – The conditions at your location (climate, soil, wind, etc.)
    – The supplier from whom the trees were sourced. As growers use different planting mixes and maintain their plants differently, this can have an impact on the overall health of the plants which will affect their subsequent growth rate.
    – Initial planting preparation and on-going care of the trees.

    Depending on the above, Heteropyxis can grow between 0.4-0.8m a year. They can take 2-6 years to settle in before noticeable growth is observed.

28. Hi Uschi

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    As Heteropyxis natalensis is not naturally found in Cape Town, its success will depend on the microclimate in your location.

31. Hi Glenice – I found your site while trying to find out what type of roots Heteropyxis Natalensis has. My brother lives in Maritzburg and insists I plant one and a Cunonia Capensis in a new garden I’m establishing in Stanford, in the Overberg region of the W. Cape.

    It’s a relatively small garden and I’m at my wits end trying to narrow down the trees to plant. We mainly need them for screening purposes and it appears that after about a metre, the soil on our plot is clay. We are very close to a river course, but I’m also told the soil varies quite a lot around here. Anyway, I think it’s safe to say that we have clay.

    I see that you have recommended trees to a few people on this thread and I wondered if I could also pick your brain. These are the absolute requirements – 1) non-aggressive roots 2) fast growing 3) screening therefore evergreen ? preferably 4) will grow in clay soil.

    Additionally, it would be good if they were hardy / waterwise / bird and bee friendly and fire resistant. Not too tall an order !!!

    We are in our sixties and have just built this home and so I guess no tree will grow too big in our lifetime and future owners can decide what they want to do if the trees by then are too big or shady.

    I’d be thrilled if you could give me your recommendations to help narrow down my list!

    Thanks and stay safe (and sane)!

    Regards, Leigh

32. Hi Wendy

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    It could be that your lavender tree is old. However, branches dying is also a sign of the shot hole borer which is ravaging many trees in South Africa. Look out for signs of what looks like chicken pox on the trunk of your tree. Also check out pictures on the Greenpop website which may help you identify this. If this is the case, you may be able to treat your tree through a local nursery or an arborist.

33. Hi Glenice,

    I live in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga. In 2003 we bough an old home with an already big lavender tree growing in an almost clump-like way. I started putting orchids and airplants into the tree as well as Spanish Moss to cover the orchid’s roots. A true beauty and very eye-catching.

    Last year we noticed branches of the lavender tree starting to die. Do you think the orchids and air plants are the cause, should I take it out or does the lavender tree (which is about 50 years old) die of old age?

    The Heteropyxis natalensis does not naturally grow in the Western Cape. However, that doesn’t mean that it will not grow in your region. If your local garden centre stocks it, then chances are that the species is able to adapt to your local conditions.

    Heteropyxis natalensis typically doesn’t respond well to transplanting and interference with its roots. However, given the relatively short since their relocation, I’d recommend that you possibly wait another 3 months before assessing your transplant success.

43. Good Afternoon,
    In Parktown Johannesburg some years ago (15 or so) I planted five lavender trees together in a mini forest or copse. They thrived, grew tall and bushy and have provided pleasure for years. Owing to building operations I had to move them. A professional gardener removed them and after a few months transplanted them. The transplant took place about three months ago – October some time. None of them is showing signs of growing. They have all lost their leaves now. There is no green immediately below the bark. There has been very good rain and we watered them copiously both before and after the transplant. Will they recover do you think? How long should I wait to see if they will recover? I am very fond of these trees and am not keen to replace them. Thanks for your help.

56. Hi Susan

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    It’s normal for the bark to peel off the Heteropyxis natalensis (Lavender Tree) as it grows, so there’s no need to take any action about this.

    Regarding the leaves falling off one tree, again, that does tend to happen with this species. I’ve seen one tree completely bare while another tree just 4 metres away with a full crown of green foliage. Your trees are relatively young and probably need a few more seasons to acclimatize to their new home. Once they’ve settled, they’ll probably have synchronized patterns. Situations like this bear testimony to my belief that trees do actually have personalities!

    Although lavender trees don’t naturally have a rounded shape, it may be possible with some selective pruning to lower the crown and encourage a more dense canopy.
    It’s best to use the service of an arborist for professional pruning which will enhance the tree’s shape as it is quite easy to deform your tree if you don’t know what you’re doing.

    Wow, that must be a stunning bonsai.

    I’d imagine that growing in a container would make the leaves a little smaller and it is also likely to become more susceptible to pest invasions. Perhaps try to adjust your plant’s growing conditions a little to make it more comfortable. You could try:-
    – changing the location – this could adjust the light, wind, orientation, etc.
    – adjust your watering schedule
    – feed the plant
    – change the soil as it could be depleted of nutrients.

90. We’ve just purchased two Lavender Trees from the Nursery in the Kruger Park near Skukuza for R35.00 each

91. Hi Jeanne

    Thanks for visiting Plantbook.

    Most nurseries should be able to supply you with a Lavender Tree since this is a very popular landscaping tree. Check first with your nearest nursery that stocks indigenous species. Otherwise, visit one of the larger chain nurseries.

    Flourish!
