Cinnamon Myrtle (Backhousia Myrtifolia)

Cinnamon Myrtle leaves produce a cinnamon fragrance when crushed. They can be used in teas, as a spice when cooking, or baked into biscuits, pies, etc. In Summer, they produce tiny cream-white flowers which are great for attracting birds and pollinating insects.

In the wild, Cinnamon Myrtle can reach up to 7m and makes an excellent shade tree.
