Flakey Barked Tea Tree

Flakey Barked Tea Tree (Leptospermum trinervium) is a locally indigenous tree included in the City of Sydney tree species list. Council data indicates approximately 8 m high and 5 m spread, with a rounded canopy form. Its noted amenity value is interesting bark. Its recorded local performance is somewhat reliable. Final selection should still account for available soil volume, services, exposure and the mature canopy required on the site.
