Melaleuca uncinata

This versatile native shrub reaches 1–5 metres in height with a spreading habit of 80 centimetres to 3.5 metres.

Characterised by narrow, hooked-tipped foliage and delicate cream to yellow bottlebrush flowers that emerge in spring, it thrives across diverse Australian regions.

Exceptionally hardy, it tolerates drought, waterlogging, and frost whilst demonstrating moderate salt resilience.

Ideally suited to well-drained sandy or loamy soils, this species serves multiple purposes: establishing effective windbreaks and screens, creating formal hedging, or providing raw material for the traditional brush fence industry.

A sophisticated choice for both functional landscaping and ecological value.
