Backhousia citriodora 'Lemon Myrtle' TUBESTOCK
TUBESTOCK
Small tree - 3-20m high x 1-5m wide.
Lemon Myrtle - Not only is this plant one of the best bush foods, it is also a beautiful ornamental with its glossy green aromatic leaves and fluffy white flower heads. Whilst it is capable of growing into a small to medium sized tree, it can be kept as a shrub through regular pruning of the growing tips. This also serves to harvest the plant for its culinary uses for flavouring all sorts of dishes. Plant in a sunny spot with well drained soil and feed and water regularly during the warmer months to give yourself plenty of shoots. A rain forest tree from north NSW and south Queensland. Can take light frosts, but foliage will be damaged.
