Progression thread : Leptospermum brachyandrum
This was purchased in 2018 from Plants Plus in Castle Hill.
A very hardy tree. The foliage has a tinge of silver to it. But the standout for this tree is the colours on the bark as it ages. It resembles a Crepe myrtle.
It is highly tolerant of Myrtle rust, and I haven't had any problems with it.
It tolerates a heavy root removal, and has no problem having all foliage removed if you need to. (no point though)
The branches weep, making it a beautiful tree to look at.
I have occasionally had die back after a cut-back, so I usually recommend growing with clip and grow to try and promote branching close to the trunk.
