LEPTOSPERMUM POLYGALIFOLIUM     “Jelly Bush” 

Family: Myrtaceae.

A shrub to 3m high, or a slender-trunked tree to 7m. Useful as a screen and a windbreak, it is hardy and reliably produces a good display of flowers each year. 

An attractive plant often used as an ornamental from central eastern New South Wales to the southern border with Victoria. The flowers are usually white but may be a greenish, off-white to pale pink.  Popular for honey production in northern parts of NSW and Vic, whereas Manuka is more likely to suit southern areas of these states. Prefer higher rainfall, good drainage, and neutral soil pH. Moderately frost tolerant.
