The Cinnamon Myrtle leaves have a pleasant, spicy, cinnamon-like aroma and flavour. The attractive flowers are creamy coloured and star shaped, produced in masses, followed by star-like capsules. Due to the beauty of the dainty flowers, Cinnamon myrtle can be used in floristry.
Cinnamon Myrtle is well suited to the home garden.
The tree is adaptable to a broad range of conditions and different soil types. It grows happily in full-sun and semi-shade situations, in open plantings or as a managed hedge. The tree is tolerant of light frosts.
Leaves can be harvested as sprigs for use in cooking - often being used in savoury recipes, desserts, confectionery and soothing herbal teas 🍃 #daleysfruit #daleysnursery #cinnamonmyrtle
