Ramorinoa girolae Plant Care

Ramorinoa girolae (Ramorinoa girolae) belongs to the Fabaceae family within the Ramorinoa genus. Ramorinoa girolae is native to La Rioja, San Juan, and San Luis Provinces of western Argentina.

Ramorinoa girolae displays a small upright tree growth habit, reaching up to 15 ft tall with a spread of approximately 8 ft. Ramorinoa girolae produces small clusters of white to pink flowers.

Leaf size: approximately 4 inches.

Water a young or newly planted Ramorinoa girolae every 7–14 days, soaking the whole root zone, until it is established — usually one to two growing seasons. Established trees mainly need water during long dry spells. In a container, water whenever the top few centimetres of soil are dry.

Ramorinoa girolae thrives in full sun to partial shade.

Ramorinoa girolae tolerates temperatures of 60–85°F. Ramorinoa girolae prefers humidity levels of 40–70%.

Well-draining sandy loam with added organic matter. Good drainage is essential for Ramorinoa girolae to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Feed Ramorinoa girolae every 6 months during the growing season with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at the rate on the label. Established trees in good soil often need little extra feeding, so let weak growth or pale foliage guide you.

Stop feeding by late summer so new growth can harden before winter.

Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-draining sandy loam with added organic matter. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain.

Ramorinoa girolae is suited to USDA Zone 13a.

Plant container-grown or balled-and-burlapped trees in spring or early autumn, setting the root flare at soil level, and water well after planting.

Ramorinoa girolae can spread to about 8 ft (2.4 m) and reach about 15 ft (5 m) tall. Space plants about 8 ft (2.4 m) apart so mature crowns don't crowd each other, and plant at least half that distance from buildings, fences and paths.

Prune Ramorinoa girolae while it is dormant in late winter: first remove dead, damaged and crossing branches, then thin lightly for shape.

If it flowers in spring, prune right after flowering instead so you don't remove next year's buds. Never take off more than about a quarter of the tree in one year.

Ramorinoa girolae is frost-tender (hardy to USDA zone 13). In colder areas grow it in a container and move it to a bright, frost-free place before the first frost.

Ramorinoa girolae can be propagated through seeds, stem cuttings.

Ramorinoa girolae grows outdoors in USDA Zone 13a. It survives winters down to planting zone 13a. Ramorinoa girolae is native to La Rioja, San Juan, and San Luis Provinces of western Argentina. In cooler regions, grow Ramorinoa girolae as a houseplant or bring it indoors before the first frost.
