New Zealand Tea-tree: Leptospermum scoparium [Family: Myrtaceae] - Flickr - Photo Sharing! Manuka Tree, Flowering Tree, Home Yard, Australian Native Plants, Native Garden, Tree Ideas, Flowering Trees, Exotic Flowers, Flowers Nature

For awhile I had a New Zealand Tea Tree (Leptospermum scoparium) growing in a large pot in my back yard. Several varieties of this species can be found in the nursery trade. This dark red variety is my favorite, and it is quite popular in California. Later on, when I visited New Zealand, I was able to actually walk through a forest of wild tea trees, which the New Zealanders call "manuka" trees. But all of them, even the ones in cultivation, had white or pale pink flowers.
