Hi, this came from a large scrub/small tree that was growing in the garden of the house my niece bought.
We have no idea how old it is therefore we don't know if it's at full height or not.
At the moment, it is a large bushy scrub and the leaves are quite leathery and, when broken, have the most beautiful lemony fragance.
I don't know how many varieties of lemon myrtle there are but I have one at my home and the leaves are longer and thinner than these. I think the lemon fragance is different too. Mine is a sharper lemon while this one is sweeter?
Any ideas, pls?
thanks,
Annie
