Gordonia alatamaha grows easily under proper 
conditions. It requires sun and a loose well- 
drained soil. It should be planted in the spring. 
Although its roots grow close to the surface they 
demand cool soil; this can best be affected by 
placing a mulch of peat moss or leafmold over 
the surface of the soil. 
The plants are rapid growers and respond well 
to any acid fertilizer. This, however, should not 
be applied late in the season as the fall growth 
may winterkill. 
During the first two growing seasons the young 
plants should be staked and kept well-watered. 
As the bark is thin, they should, where necessary, 
be protected by wire from rabbits. Except to re¬ 
move crossing branches and to train to a desired 
shape, Gordonia alatamaha does not require 
pruning.
