Leptospermum is a plant in the form of a bush of Australian origin, with a subspecies of about 90 myrtle species (Myrtaceae). These boats, which usually range from 1 to 3 meters, have pink, white or red flowers. A special honey is produced from the lemon-scented tea tree (Leptospermum polygalifolium) flowers, a common type of this beautiful plant in Australia that attracts the nectar and the butterflies in its flowers. Maori, a native of New Zealand, used to treat this skin disease and wounds with this special baby. According to an investigation, 1750 milligrams of anti-bacterial compound "methylglucoside" was found in 1 kg of the plant, but this substance became ineffective during honey production.
Since the leaves containing vitamin C were consumed as tea by the first Australian immigrants, they also called him "New Zealand tea tree" in his homeland. Leptospermum also used acrid herb tea as an antibacterial drug at the same time. Lacin should not be confused with the Indian burrows (Melaleuca alternifolia), which is also Australian-origin and commonly used in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors and known as "tea tree".
Leptospermum is also used in horticulture as a popular hedge plant. Leptospermum was also a suitable plant for the bonsai technique. L. lanigerum, L. liversidgei, L. polygalifolium, L. rupestre and L. scoparium were the most prevalent species, both resistant to cold and drought, and did not plow their leaves in winter. It is worth remembering that this plant, made of steel and seed, is a warm climate plant. If you want to give her a place in your garden, you should find a corner with plenty of sun, good drainage and no lime calcareous.
