Melaleuca Decora-White Feather Honey Myrtle-BUSH TUCKA-seeds

MELALEUCA DECORA

“White Feather Honey Myrtle”

Family: Myrtaceae  

Sprouting: 14-50 days.

Hardy, small to medium tree with an attractive whitish papery bark, usually to 7m high but have been found to 20m. Endemic to Queensland and New South Wales. Prefers a light to heavy soil in an open sunny position, drought and frost resistant.  Tolerates coastal and poor soils.

Creamy white bottlebrush like flowers appearing on dense terminal heads in early spring and summer.

Indigenous peoples used nearly every part of this in their day-to-day lives using fibre and bark for clothing and swaddling babies, wood and stems for implements and to construct shelters, tea from the leaves, and drinks made from the nectar.
