Tea tree #1

Tea tree or Ti-tree is a popular name that has been applied to a number of different, unrelated plants.

 

Leptospermum laevigatum, commonly known as the Coastal Tea Tree is a woody shrub or small tree of the myrtaceae family native to eastern Australia. Salt-resistant and very hardy, it is commonly used in amenities plantings and coastal plantings. It has also been used in Western Australia where it has become a weed.

This species is also planted along the Central Coast of California in the United States to stabilize sand. It is known there as the Australian Tea Tree.
