Tree Leptospermum petersonii Lemon-scented Tea Tree
Description A beautiful Australian native tree with a shrubby habit. The new foliage is a copper/bronze colour. It has many small white flowers that decorate the tree in early summer. The leaves when crushed have a beautiful citrus scent.
Foliage Evergreen
Form Round
Mature Size 5 x 3m
Uses Fantastic as a street tree because of its smaller growth and can also be used as an informal hedge because of its dense foliage. It also is a great bird attractant.
Position & Soil Adaptable to most soils but prefers a well drained full sun position. Sites similar to coastal conditions are perfect. It's ideal for tough conditions e.g. drought conditions or poor soil.
