Customer Tips & Reviews Lemon Myrtle
EPPING, VIC
Lemon Myrtle
I will wait for the next season and order another of these plants.
CALAMVALE, QLD
Lemon Myrtle
Plant arrived in good condition. Potted out the following day into a larger pot and pruned slightly at the time. Used the leaves off the prunings naturally. Already pruned it again since delivery to keep the tree bushy and maintain our tea leaf supply. Very happy with the plant. Will repot into a larger pot as needed but not required just yet.
Lemon Myrtle
We enjoy the aroma of the lemon myrtles growing along the creek close by and we wanted to capture the same aroma close to our house. They are performing well and we are looking forward to blossom time. A very nice native tree. Thanks to Daleys staff for producing another example of quality trees.

My lemon myrtle in Melbourne actually does better in part-day sun and dappled shade. Full sun is too harsh.

FOREST LAKE, QLD, Australia
fast growing, used for cheesecake, biscuits and teas and had medicinal purposes
PADDINGTON, NSW
Looks very promising, but a lack of sun, watering and attention has caused it to grow slowly. Very beautiful even when so small, the leaves turning from almost furry to very glossy over time.

This is a stunning tree. The growth this season has been very fast, despite regular harvesting of the leaves for cooking and tea. Very low maintenance and extremely hardy.
MOUNT ISA, qld, australia
It is such a delicious and refreshing tea made from the leaves. It flowered for the 1st time in Nov2010 and was truly a lovely sight
Lemon Myrtle
Lemon Myrtle Panacotta (dessert) - to die for. Subtle flavour and I was surprised by how much flavour I got out of the leaves by just a few minutes over the heat. I thought I was going to have to grind them. Definitely try it!!
Cleveland, Qld, Aus
Love the perfume of the leaves and the wonderful state of the leaves
Bardon, Qld, Australia
I absolutely love the smell of the leaves when crushed. This plant demands more water than I give it, and always looks slightly wilted, but I did plant it on thery poor soil and is competing with another tree.
Hornsby, NSW, Australia
I love the smell of the leaves when crushed. I use them dried in cooking and add to tea. Better flavour than lemons. Lovely when it flowers in autumn. Stands up to weather extremes. Pest free.

Use dried leaves in curries in leau of Lemon Grass, a zesty taste to die for!!
Lemon Myrtle
A lady told me that she puts a handful of leaves under her ironing board cover to give a fresh lift to clothes. I use a hand-towel between the layers though as I worry about any oils that may seep through.

Keperra, QLD, Australia
Planted in the back corner of the yard in a fairly dry, medium to low sun, dry soil position and left mostly to its own devices. Slow grower but coming along strong now. Great smell and flavour for any bay leaf x lemon dishes I cook - especially BBQ ba...

Lemon Myrtle
One mature leaf plus good sprig of parsely into a small teapot or mug, makes a good quick cuppa the healthiest type
Mooloolaba, QLD, Australia
Dont know why it died, I put it in a large pot in a sunny spot, maybe just not suited to pots.
Nabiac, NSW, Australia
Has toughed out waterlogging and still going well. Smells divine, a real heart starter.

I now always use fresh lemon myrtle instead of dried bay leaves in savoury dishes - and feel very patriotic.
