The lemon Scented Tea Tree ( Leptospermum petersonii ) is Australian Native which grows into a large shrub or small tree up to 5 metres high. It is fast growing and has masses of small white flowers , mainly in Autumn. Crush the leaves with your hand and a wonderful lemon aroma will excite your senses. Aromatic Essential oil can be extracted from the leaves . I have made a tea from the crushed leaves. Use this plant as a privacy screen plus it can also be used for coastal gardens and it will attract birds which fee on the nectar from the flowers. It will tolerate light frost and once established, it is drought hardy. There are many species of Leptospermum ,but this one is common in Sydney gardens.

A beautiful Australian native tree with a shrubby habit.The new foliage is copper/bronze colour. It has many small white flowers that decorate the tree in early summer. The leaves when crushed have a beautiful citrus scent.
Uses
Fantastic as a street tree because of its smaller growth and can also be used as an informal hedge because of its dense foliage. It also is a great bird attractant.
Position & Soil
Adaptable to most soils but prefers a well drained full sun position. Sites similar to coastal conditions are perfect. Its ideal for tough conditions ie. drought conditions or poor soil
Categories
Bird Attracting
These are tree selections with magnificent flowers and/or dense habitat for bird attraction.
Coastal
These trees are tolerant of the typically sandy conditions associated with living along the coast.
Evergreen
This symbol denotes a tree that retains its leaves, therefore is green, all year round.
Informal Screening
A tree for an informal screen is one which is tall enough to block views but is left to grow in its natural form. These trees offer a more casual look.
Native
This selection of trees are indigenous to Australia and unique to our climatic conditions. Most of the trees we grow are suitable for the south eastern parts of Australia.

Hi bro ! How are you ? I glad to see you here after many time.
The plants are as interesting as the animals of Australia, the taxonomists have a lot of problems about where to put the plant, the information changes continuously .. Also the general names are surprising. For example, some of these plants are used in the form of cay, they all become trees. In Australia, however, the class Leptospermum which is called tea tree ... On the other hand, the plant Melaleuca alternitifolia which is sold as Tea Tree Oil in the market ...
The plants of both classes are used by Australian aborigines for healing. I have a definition of "Bush Tucker". Plants that the Aborigines used to survive (both for healing and nutrition) in difficult Australian conditions. There are many interesting things. White people have been tied up with information that can not be considered a unique treasure because of the lack of a part of the aboriginal children who have been torn from their families, but this is uncommon in the context of the media reporting (why not consider it different from us?). If the Aboriginal communities that have already reached the water and now have the freedom, they are not too inclined to share something with white people anymore. While there were many things to experience from a society that has survived as a whole without harming it, just as it is in other slaughter societies ...
Thanks for reading. I hope to see you again 😘 @ctrl-alt-nwo

I also share a knowledge of Leptospermum petersonii, I share, the same plant is denızıyoruz insallah.English is also a teabaumöl oil is called a cayagaci yagi. On top of it is also writing in the country of Australia. There is also the inclusion of Melaleuca Alternifolia oil. This medicine, which is also sold in a 30 ml mini sachet, is used for many things. We started using it 10 years ago for the first dental and gingival problems. You put garlic in the water for 3-4 drops once a day and gargle for as long as you can. After mouthwash, it is definitely not calked with mouth water. You do not swallow the spit for a while. Another method is to put a drop on the tooth paste and brush your teeth. An unbelievable thing is that they exterminate their teeth, gum problems 2 or 3 times.
You can also use the problems of sheet metal. You can also use 2-3 drops of water to remove the sheets.
Insect stings, wounds, abrasions, acne, skin infections, mushroom infections (including foot mushrooms and thrush).
Agritive problems, tonsils, throat, respiratory tract infections, sinusitis treatment ...

A beautiful Australian native tree with a shrubby habit.The new foliage is copper/bronze color. It has many small white flowers that decorate the tree in early summer. The leaves when crushed have a beautiful citrus scent.
The soft, pendulous branches bear long, slender leaves that start coppery, then turn green.The small, white flowers are pretty but not very conspicuous and followed by woody capsules. Although they prefer full sun they will grow in part shade but will tend to have a more open habit. They will tolerate mild drought and marginal frosts. They are commonly seen in Australian gardens, either as an ornamental feature or as a screen or hedge. Their very fast growth making them ideal for quick screening in new housing areas.They also attract birds to your garden.Otherwise low maintenance ,apart from a trim now and again to keep it tidy and a light sprinkling of blood and bone (or a balance fertiliser for natives) once a year, in spring.

About Lemon-Scented Tea Tree Essential Oil
Our Lemon-Scented Tea Tree Essential Oil, with its extremely tangy and citronella-like profile, will surprise and delight. We reach for this oil particularly for use in formulations where the traditional "medicinal" aroma of tea tree would be better omitted.
While not a member of the Melaleuca genus and therefore technically not a true tea tree, this species of manuka oil has many of the same therapeutic benefits. It blends amazingly well with citrus and herbal oils such as rosemary and thyme. When added to one of our ultrasonic diffusers, a blend of this tea tree with geranium and lemon will provide hours of fresh, purifying air to the office or home. This oil is as purifying and cleansing as tea tree oil; it effectively supports wellness and is an excellent oil to employ during the winter season. Both regular and lemon-scented tea tree oils are important additions to your home medicine cabinet and first aid kit due to their fast and effective healing capabilities.
Like regular tea tree oil, this lemon-scented variety is also extremely effective as a bathroom and household cleanser. You can also use it to support skin health and balance, especially when used in ointments, salves and compresses.
Lemon-Scented Tea Tree Essential Oil Profile:
This unique organic oil from the pungent lemon-scented tea tree plant boasts the same wide use as more traditional medicinal tea tree oil. Grown on the coasts of South Africa, this pure tea tree is infused with the diversity of that enchanted landscape, having a refreshing, citronella-like fragrance. It mixes well with other tea tree essential oils and is effective in reducing their strongly medicinal aromas.

Leptospermum is a plant in the form of a bush of Australian origin, with a subspecies of about 90 myrtle species (Myrtaceae). These boats, which usually range from 1 to 3 meters, have pink, white or red flowers. A special honey is produced from the lemon-scented tea tree (Leptospermum polygalifolium) flowers, a common type of this beautiful plant in Australia that attracts the nectar and the butterflies in its flowers. Maori, a native of New Zealand, used to treat this skin disease and wounds with this special baby. According to an investigation, 1750 milligrams of anti-bacterial compound "methylglucoside" was found in 1 kg of the plant, but this substance became ineffective during honey production.
Since the leaves containing vitamin C were consumed as tea by the first Australian immigrants, they also called him "New Zealand tea tree" in his homeland. Leptospermum also used acrid herb tea as an antibacterial drug at the same time. Lacin should not be confused with the Indian burrows (Melaleuca alternifolia), which is also Australian-origin and commonly used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors and known as "tea tree".
Leptospermum is also used in horticulture as a popular hedge plant. Leptospermum was also a suitable plant for the bonsai technique. L. lanigerum, L. liversidgei, L. polygalifolium, L. rupestre and L. scoparium were the most prevalent species, both resistant to cold and drought, and did not plow their leaves in winter. It is worth remembering that this plant, made of steel and seed, is a warm climate plant. If you want to give her a place in your garden, you should find a corner with plenty of sun, good drainage and no lime calcareous.

Hi all
Best regard @ctrl-alt-nwo
The ongoing struggle between Australian and New Zealand manuka honey producers has been a bit of a challenge, with an Australian industry association recently opposing the kiwi drive for its "liquid gold" brand.
The Australian Manuka Honey Association (AMHA) was born at a meeting in Melbourne last month and is supported by major industry players including Australia's largest producer Capilano.
At that time around the same report emerged from New Zealand producers applying for an exclusive trademark for "manuka honey" in five countries, including Australia and China.
But Australians argue the kiwi claims what was formerly called "liquid gold", produced by bees looking for the original Leptospermum plant of both countries, is the bed.
The prime AMHA chief Paul Callender said that the group would let the domestic industry inaugurate and fight.
"Some of us agreed that it was time to involve key people from the industry," he said.
"[New Zealand] is trying to do this trademark globally to prevent access from other participating market countries.

Leptospermum petersonii (or Leptospermum citratum), lemon-scented teatree is a tall shrub to small tree, growing to a maximum of 5 metres which is cultivated as an ornamental and for essential oils. It naturally occurs near sclerophyll forest or rainforest, on sandy or rocky escarpments, on the east coast of Australia. It has simple leaves, 20–40 mm long, with a distinctive lemony aroma. The flowers are white, followed by woody capsules.
The leaves are distilled commercially for the essential oil which contains citronellal, citral, and pinene. It is grown in plantations in Kenya, Zaire, South Africa, Guatemala and Australia.
The leaf of lemon-scented teatree is also used as a flavouring ingredient in boutique tea blends with standard black tea, Camellia sinensis.
The essential oil from L.petersonii inhibits the pathological fungi Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus.[1]
Lemon-scented teatree is well known as a garden plant, popular for its scent and attractiveness. It is fast growing and can be kept to shrub height by pruning. The ability to be pruned regularly also makes it well-suited for hedges, windbreaks and harvesting for distilled essential oils.[3]

It is sensitive to frost. He likes the sun, It is resistant to the semi-shadow. Shrub or small tree - Perennial plant - Flower parks and gardens are used as solitary ornamental grass fields. Flowers bloom from May to June. It is good to mix nutrients in irrigation water for two weeks in this period. In winter, the reduced water must be kept so moist that it does not die. When necessary, pots should be replaced using multipurpose potting soil in the spring. Pruning at the end of the flowering season will help to improve the shape. It is cut from the end branches and is produced by rooting in fresh soil, warm pillows and wet soil in sandy soil mixture in the spring and summer

@ctrl-alt-nwo, That's well introduction of beauty gardening post. This is a Australian native one. I added more information using google. Small tree 10-20' with fine, lime green scented foliage and white flowers in early summer. Hardy to most soils and situations. Tolerant of light frosts, extended dry periods and pruning. Great small tree for small gardens. Excellent screen, windbreak and hedge. Leaves and stems contain essential oils used in candle and soap making. Leaves can be used as a tea substitute.
Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse and only just cover the seed. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant out in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts, and give some protection from the cold for their first winter or two outdoors. The seed remains viable for many years. Cuttings of half-ripe wood, 5 - 8 cm with a heel, early August in a frame. Over-winter in the greenhouse for its first year. Good percentage. Cuttings of almost mature wood, 4 - 5 cm with a heel, October/November in a frame. Good percentage.
Leptospermum petersonii is a rounded shrub with strongly scented leaves that can be used in cooking and to flavour tea. Masses of white flowers in spring and early summer. Suited to heavy soils on the coast or better soils inland. Fast growing screen and ornamental. Frost tender when young. Great for hedging, screening and scented gardens.

By Teo Spengler
The lemon cypress tree, also called Goldcrest after its cultivar, is a variety of Monterey cypress. It gets its common name from the powerful strong lemon scent that its branches exude if you brush against them or crush their foliage. You can start growing lemon cypress trees (Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest’) indoors or outside. Lemon cypress care is not difficult if you know some basic rules.
Lemon Cypress Trees:
Lemon cypress trees come in two sizes: small and smaller. Grown outdoors in their natural habitat, the trees can grow to 16 feet tall. This is quite small for a cypress. The dwarf lemon cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa ‘Goldcrest Wilma’) is the better choice for a houseplant. This small tree usually does not grow taller than 3 feet, making it perfect for indoor containers. The tree has many admirers, thanks to its green-yellow needle-like foliage, conical growth pattern and bright fresh citrus smell. If you are thinking of growing lemon cypress, you’ll need to understand basic rules of lemon cypress care.
Lemon Cypress Care Outdoors:
In general, growing lemon cypress is not difficult. The trees require well-draining soil, but are not picky about whether it is loamy, sandy or chalky. They also accept acidic, neutral or alkaline soil. If you are growing lemon cypress in your backyard, you’ll need to learn about care for lemon cypress outdoors. They thrive in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 through 10. Lemon cypress trees cannot survive shade, so you’ll need to plant your outdoor tree in a sunny spot. And don’t neglect irrigation, especially immediately after planting. During the tree’s first growing season, you’ll need to water twice a week. Watering is always an important part of care for lemon cypress outdoors. After the first year, water whenever the soil is dry. In spring, it’s time to feed the tree. Apply a standard, slow-release 20-20-20 fertilizer before new growth appears in the spring.
Lemon Cypress Houseplant Care:
If you decide to start growing lemon cypress trees indoors as houseplants, remember that they do best with cool indoor temperatures. Keep your thermostat in the low 60’s during winter. Perhaps the most difficult part of lemon cypress houseplant care is ensuring sufficient light. Select a window that provides good sunlight and turn the container regularly to give each side a turn. The houseplant requires 6 to 8 hours of direct sun. Don’t forget water – essential for lemon cypress houseplant care. They won’t forgive you if you don’t give them drenching once a week – you’ll see brown needles appear. Water whenever the soil is dry.

Mosquitoes are dangerous small animals.
mosquitoes can be human enemies. Not only the bites that make the skin become bumps, itching, and redness, mosquitoes can also cause various diseases, such as dengue fever and malaria.
To get rid of it, people often use chemicals that have potentially adverse health effects. why not try other alternatives?
I have ways that practically repel mosquitoes.
lemon balm

Lemon Scented Tea Tree Oil has all the highly effective antiseptic, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties associated with tea tree oil itself but with a tangy and refreshing lemon fragrance.
They do not actually come from the same plant; true tea tree oil is Melaleuca Alternifolia, whilst lemon scented tea tree oil is Leptospermum Petersonnii. Both are related and grow in the same part of the world, namely Australia and New Zealand but their oil contents are different:
Lemon tea tree contains Citral and Citronellal. Citral is a pale yellow liquid with strong lemon odour used in perfumes and flavourings. Citronellal is an aldehyde, also with distinctive lemon scent.
Thanks for the essential post sir @ctrl-alt-nwo
