    Known for its aromatic, lemon-scented leaves, not only does it bring a refreshing fragrance, but it also attracts a variety of pollinators. Its resilience and low maintenance make it a great choice for gardeners looking for a beautiful and hardy plant. In its natural habitat, the Lemon-scented Tea Tree plays a significant role in supporting wildlife, offering shelter and food sources for a variety of birds, insects, and other fauna. The strong citrus aroma in the leaves also serve as a deterrent to certain pests such as mosquitos, fleas and ticks.

    Care Considerations:

    		Watering should be regular until the plant is established, after which it little to no watering should be required. Pruning can be done to shape the plant and encourage denser growth, but is not essential. Fertilising is not strictly necessary but an occasional feed with a low-phosphorus fertilizer can be applied once a year.
