deviltree Alstonia macrophylla Wallich ex G. Don

Exposure deviltree
These plants don't like cold weather, therefore in the Spring it is best to set them outside only when the temperatures are above 15°C. With a particularly windy climate we suggest securing young trees to long solid stakes, to avoid that the wind could bare young and not very developed roots; specimens which are only a few years old might fear intense cold and wind.The deviltree should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight.

Generalities deviltree
The deviltree develops in an erect manner and, as the years go by, becomes a tree. The deviltree Is small in size; in summer it assumes a orangeyellow colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. These plants have a sapling deportment, with a short stem with a small roundish crown.

Fertilization deviltree
Tree fertilization should be done at the beginning of the spring or of autumn, using humus or mature manure; this should be done by mixing a few buckets of fertilizer to the ground, around the trunk of the tree, every 2-3 years or when the tree implanted.

Watering deviltree
We advise watering the young specimens, or the recently sheltered ones; the adult specimens usually are satisfied with rain water. Water rarely, about once every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down.

Treatments deviltree
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Soil deviltree
Grow these plants in a dissolved and deep, but well drained soil.
