The aromatic needle-like leaves and white puffy flowers adapt well to container culture and produce the popular Tea Tree Oil. A native of eastern Australia, it blooms in the spring , loves a sunny spot, tolerates dryness or irregular watering and doesn’t mind cool conditions. We grow Paperbark Tea Tree in a cold greenhouse kept above freezing and it makes a beautiful full specimen when pruned regularly. The growth habit is open but when shaped it can be maintained in small containers on the windowsill. Plants are grown from cuttings from flowering wood. Show more
