Oh boy Barry, you will get a response on that one. What a lot of bother
a picture saves, especially if it is something as well known as a
Leptospermum - of which there are over 70 species ranging from S.E. Asia
to New Zealand, with about 40 in Australia. Someone will probably be
able to pinpoint the particular plant you have there. Commonly known as
tea-tree (or ti-tree). The problem with these common names is that some
Meleleucas are also called tea-tree, including the plant which produces
the well-known tea-tree oil.
