Weeping Tea Tree

Leptospermum brachyandrum is a member of the Myrtaceae family. Though there currently is no common name for this particular species, “Tea tree” is the generic name for members of its genus.

This species’ natural range extends from just north of Port Macquarie in New South Wales up towards northern Queensland. Though this plant’s ideal environment seems to be beside creeks and rivers where it is frequently inundated for lengthy periods during the summer months, there are some populations in Queensland that grow far from waterways on steep, rocky slopes.

Leptospermum brachyandrum becomes a large shrub or small tree, reaching up to 5m. It usually prefers growing on sites with wet soil that have part shade to full sun. However, some plants in cultivation have been known to grow quite happily in much more free draining soils. The leaves are linear-lanceolate in shape and reach approximately 5 cm in length. The white flowers have a diameter of 7 mm and cluster around the ends of the branches. The white flowers are open to see in late spring and early summer with the fruit capsules developing soon after the flowering season.
