Leptospermum scoparium ‘Appleblossom’ Description

Leptospermum scoparium ‘Appleblossom’ is a compact evergreen New Zealand tea tree with small aromatic leaves and numerous double flowers in soft blush-pink to pale rose shades. The blooms appear in late spring and early summer and can almost cover the fine twiggy branches. Plants generally form a dense upright shrub, reaching around 1.5 to 2 metres over time. Grow in full sun in acidic to neutral soil that drains freely. It tolerates coastal conditions and summer dryness once established but dislikes heavy, saturated ground. Hardiness is moderate rather than absolute, so in Ireland a sheltered wall-side or mild coastal position is preferable. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, taking care not to cut deeply into old leafless wood.
