Does anyone know anywhere around Sydney and/or greater Sydney that would stock this variety:
Leptospermum brachyandrum 'jack frost'
Thanks for any advice.

Haha. I was hoping for something that wasn’t about a 10 hour drive.
I’ve done the internet searching which lead me to post here, but thank you.

Come on, Rory, where's your ambition?!? Only ten hours?!?
I have a different version of L. brachyandrum - the bark is wonderful, the leaves a very delicate silvery-green, but it doesn't seem keen to Grow Madly and Fatten Up. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

It's only 3 hours to that nursery for me, but necessary if you don't want to buy a couple of dozen trees at once. Hard to walk out with just what you ordered!

hahaha. The furthest I have driven was about 5 hours for Allocasuarina nana. I'm glad I did in hindsight.
I have grown Leptospermum brachyandrum and they are an absolutely beautiful species with weeping branches and bark like Crepe Myrtle.
It is a very hardy tree, and shoots all over after a cutback. It tolerates a heavy root removal too.
L. brachyandrum appears to thicken fast from growing in my area.
But 'jack frost' has new growth which makes it look like snow has fallen on the new shoots... its really pretty in Spring.
I know there is a variant of brachyandrum that is 'silver tinged', but 'jack frost' appears to be a whole new variant they've made. Keen to try it.
