New Zealand Tea Tree

New Zealand tea Tree (Leptospermun scoparium)

Was baptized with the name (Leptospermun scoparium) by none other than Captain Cook himself. Captain cook was introduced to this tree rich in vitamin c on one of his voyages to New Zealand in the 1700's. It was said that people used its leaves to make tea. The tree photos are from a tree on Sloat Blvd. going north just past 19th Ave.
