You're probably wondering if this tree smells like lavender, right? The answer is YES, but it's not the flowers, but the foliage that smells like lavender. When you crush the leaves, they have a strong lavender smell. This will certainly be a feature tree and talking point in your garden.

This indigenous tree is a great alternative to the popular Leopard tree, because it also has flaky bark and drooping foliage, giving it a similar delicate appearance to the Leopard tree.

This tree won't get very big and is therefore an excellent choice for urban small gardens.
