Common Uses:
Did you know? The adaptability of the Lemon-scented Tea Tree (Leptospermum petersonii) extends far beyond its ornamental value. Its pleasant lemon scent, a result of high citral content in its leaves, isn't just enjoyed by humans. This same quality acts as a natural pest repellent for certain insects, making it an attractive option for integrated pest management in gardens and agriculture. Leptospermum petersonii thus serves a dual purpose: adding beauty to the landscape while functionally deterring pests. These unusual properties, from its contribution to unique honey flavors to its pest-repelling abilities, highlight the diverse potential of this plant.

Supplier information: Our supplier has been implementing a series of regenerative practices designed to restore the health and vitality of the plantations, which have not been maintained for up to 15 years. These include selective harvesting to ensure that younger, healthier trees have the space and sunlight needed to thrive. In addition, there is a significant investment in undergrowth management to control weeds and prevent them from outcompeting native plants, thus preserving the biodiversity that is essential for a healthy ecosystem. By adopting these regenerative practices, the supplier aims not only to improve the yield and quality of the harvest but also to contribute to the broader ecological restoration of the area. This holistic approach guarantees the sustainability of the plantations for future generations, aligning with global efforts towards environmental conservation and responsible land management.
