Stunning in appearance and very durable, Melaleuca is a salt hardy bush providing high durability and a natural barrier against insect and ant attack. Characteristics An evergreen Shrub growing to 2m. It is hardy to zone 0. It is in leaf all year. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects. The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and requires well-drained soil. The plant prefers acid and neutral soils. It cannot grow in the shade. It requires dry or moist soil. Habitats Woodland Garden; Sunny Edge; Uses Medicinal: An essential oil is obtained from the leaves, it has a peppermint flavour and is used medicinally. Construction: Wood - hard, durable, apt to split on drying. The dried branches are used in brush fences. The high salt content provides long lasting protection against the Australian elements making this fencing suitable for pool surrounds and enclosures or salt exposed areas. Brushwood fencing adds immediate appeal to any courtyard or landscaped area. Compacted on site by our team of specially trained installers, trimmed and topped with a bound capping, the soft, natural appearance of brush fencing and screens can make small courtyard areas feel much larger and less confining - and also rates highly an acoustic barrier! Chemical and preservative free, brush fencing can be installed in soil or solid rock foundations, and can include openings and gates. Brushwood fencing is installed on a solid galvanised steel frame that will last up to 40 years, making this fencing very strong and suitable for high wind areas. Brushwood fencing is ideal for difficult shapes and areas and can be installed level, stepped, raked or curved to suit any landscape. It can also be used for screens up to 3 metres high! Brushwood fencing instantly transforms any garden or courtyard area into a stunning natural landscape. Brushwood fencing is popular in homes, townhouses, villas, resorts and has even been featured on television renovation shows including 'Garden Makeover' and 'Backyard Blitz'. Don't spend a fortune on your landscaping without starting with the fence! View some of our past projects for more ideas. Information Sheet - Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree, Ti Tree) Natural... Random... Durable... Beautiful... Melaleuca is a genus of plants in the myrtle family Myrtaceae. There are well over 200 recognized species, most of which are endemic to Australia. A few species occur in Malesia and 7 species are endemic to New Caledonia.The species are shrubs and trees growing (depending on species) to 2–30 m tall, often with flaky, exfoliating bark. The leaves are evergreen, alternately arranged, ovate to lanceolate, 1-25 cm long and 0.5-7 cm broad, with an entire margin, dark green to grey-green in colour. The flowers are produced in dense clusters along the stems, each flower with fine small petals and a tight bundle of stamens; flower colour varies from white to pink, red, pale yellow or greenish. The fruit is a small capsule containing numerous minute seeds. Melaleuca is closely related to Callistemon, the main difference between the genera being that the stamens are generally free in Callistemon but grouped into bundles in Melaleuca. In the wild, Melaleuca plants are generally found in open forest, woodland or shrubland, particularly along watercourses and the edges of swamps. The best-accepted common name for Melaleuca is simply melaleuca; however most of the larger species are also known as paperbarks, and the smaller types as honey myrtles. They are also sometimes referred to as punk trees. One well-known melaleuca, the Ti tree (aka tea tree), Melaleuca alternifolia, is notable for its essential oil which is both anti-fungal, and antibiotic, while safely usable for topical applications. This is produced on a commercial scale, and marketed as Tea Tree Oil. The Ti tree is presumably named for the brown colouration of many water courses caused by leaves shed from trees of this and similar species (for a famous example see Brown Lake (Stradbroke Island)). The name "tea tree" is also used for a related genus, Leptospermum. Both Leptospermum and Melaleuca are myrtles of the family, Myrtaceae. In Australia, Melaleuca species are sometimes used as food plants by the larvae of hepialid moths of the genus Aenetus including A. ligniveren. These burrow horizontally into the trunk then vertically down. Melaleucas are popular garden plants, both in Australia and other tropical areas worldwide. In Hawaii and the Florida everglades, Melaleuca quinquenervia (Broad-leaved Paperbark) was introduced in order to help drain low-lying swampy areas. It has since gone on to become a serious invasive weed with potentially very serious consequences being that the plants are highly flammable and spread aggressively. Growth Leaves are linear, 10-35 mm long and 1 mm wide. White flowers occur in spikes 3-5 cm long. Small woody, cup-shaped fruit are 2-3 mm in diameter. Medicinal uses Characteristic of the myrtle family Myrtaceae, it has essential oils. It is the most important species for commercial production of Tea tree oil (melaleuca oil), a topical antibacterial and antifungal used in a range of products including antiseptics, deodorants, shampoos, soaps and lotions. Construction uses Tea Tree is harvested for use as fencing and feature walls. Sticks ranging in size from 20mm to 40mm are harvested at a length of 1.8m and are avilable for construction purposes, fencing, screening, huts etc. Tea Tree fencing adds immediate appeal to any courtyard or landscaped area. Handmade on site by our team of specially trained installers, Tea Tree fencing is strong, durable and able to withstand the extremities of the Australian climate without the use of preservatives! Rugged and good looking Tea Tree fencing can transform any backyard!
