Why this product works
Product details & specifications
The Native Tea Tree Stem UV Resistant 40cm presents the fine, needle-like foliage of the Leptospermum — the Australian Tea Tree — at 40 centimetres, a UV-certified outdoor botanical stem with a distinctly Australian native character. The Tea Tree's fine, densely packed needle-like leaves create a botanical texture quite unlike the broader-leaved or grass-form alternatives — more fine-textured, more densely foliaged, and immediately recognisable as Australian native in its botanical character. ISO-certified UVTex UV inhibitors. Frost resistant. 12-month warranty.
The Tea Tree stem's fine needle-like foliage at 40cm introduces Australian native botanical character into outdoor compositions — the most immediately locally grounded botanical accent in the UV stem range.

What botanical character does the Native Tea Tree Stem add to an outdoor arrangement?
The Tea Tree stem introduces a distinctly Australian native botanical quality — the fine needle-like Leptospermum foliage creating a textural botanical accent that is immediately recognisable as native in its character. For outdoor compositions seeking a locally grounded botanical aesthetic, the Tea Tree stem is the most botanically specific native-Australian accent in the UV stem range.
What is the difference between the Native Tea Tree Stem UV 40cm and the shorter UV foliage stems?
At 45cm, the Tea Tree stem creates a more significant presence within an outdoor arrangement than the 25 to 33cm compact stems — the greater height allowing it to anchor a composition as a mid-height accent rather than a ground-level detail. The Tea Tree's fine native foliage is also botanically distinctive from all other stems in the range. For Australian native garden compositions, it is the primary UV foliage stem specification.
