Melaleuca quinquenervia is a versatile, medium-sized tree renowned for its distinctive thick, papery white bark and spreading habit. Reaching heights of up to 25 meters, it features leathery, grey-green leaves with five prominent veins and produces creamy white bottlebrush flowers from late spring to autumn. Highly adaptable, it thrives in full sun and poorly drained, swampy soils, making it an excellent choice for windbreaks, screening, or as a striking feature in coastal landscapes.
