Honey Myrtle
(Melaleuca decussata)

A fast growing screening shrub tolerant of most soil types, including clay soil common in Canberra. Soft green fine foliage, and mauve tiny bottle brushes in the summer make this a great choice for quick screening, especially along fence lines. Very low maintenance, just a prune after flowering to encourage bushy growth. Will adopt a slightly taller and open habit if in shaded sites.
