Does eucalyptus wood require annual resealing for outdoor tree box maintenance?
Eucalyptus wood is a popular choice for outdoor tree boxes due to its natural durability and resistance to pests. However, to maintain its longevity, proper sealing is essential. Unlike some softer woods, eucalyptus doesn’t always require annual resealing. Its dense grain and natural oils provide inherent protection against moisture and decay. For optimal results, inspect the wood annually and reseal only if the finish shows signs of wear, such as fading or cracking. Using a high-quality sealant every 2-3 years is often sufficient, depending on climate conditions. Regular cleaning and timely resealing will ensure your eucalyptus tree box remains sturdy and attractive for years.
