Leptospermum madidum (Weeping Tea Tree)

Leptospermum madidum (Weeping Tea Tree) is a graceful and distinctive Australian native tree known for its elegant weeping habit and attractive papery bark. This medium-sized tree features pendulous branches covered in narrow, green leaves that create a soft, cascading effect. From winter to spring, it produces small, white flowers along its branches, adding delicate beauty to its already striking form and providing nectar for pollinators.

Ideal as a feature tree in gardens, parks, and riparian zones, the Weeping Tea Tree thrives in moist, well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. It is particularly well-suited to tropical and subtropical regions but can adapt to warmer temperate climates. This tree is valued for its ornamental appeal, fast growth rate, and ability to provide habitat for native wildlife.
