Melaleuca linariifolia, or Snow In Summer, is a hardy and spectacular large shrub/small tree with lovely soft foliage and a fetching creamy-white paperbark trunk. A dusting of billowing creamy white flowers throughout spring and summer, creates the illusion of fresh snowfall. A dense canopy provides excellent habitat for native animals and its high nectar-producing flowers attract fauna of all nectar-eating varieties. The bark of Snow in Summer is thick and spongy and can be peeled off in sheets, to draw or write on.
