A medium-sized to tall tree with lovely thick, soft papery bark in cream to brown shades, Melaleuca quinquenervia is commonly known as the Broad-leaved Paperbark. During spring through autumn, the paperbark blooms white bottlebrush-like flowers that contrast against the grey-green foliage. This species can be pruned to a single trunk or a branching, spreading tree. The Broad Leaved Paperbark is ideal for screening, windbreaks, rural properties, large gardens and parks.
