[ID] Native
Any idea the name of this?
I bought it 18 months ago at a native plant nursery, but the tag was missing and the staff were unsure.
Thanks!

Re: [ID] Native
For size reference ... the leaves are quite small

All I can suggest is wait for it to flower. That will give you a lot more of a chance of identifying it!

Re: [ID] Native
Agreed. I think L.polygalifolium (AKA L.flavescens)
Does this one have white flowers?

Re: [ID] Native
If your tree hasn't flowered yet then I may be wrong - although not sure how long you have had it. Leptospermum Flavescens are prolific, becoming covered in white 5 petal flowers. Although if you've continually trimmed it you may not get flower buds

Re: [ID] Native
+1 for lepto, to me the leaves don't look quite long enough for polygalifolium but it can be so hard to tell.
