Viburnum Tinus Compacta
Raithby, WC
Viburnum tinus ‘Compacta’ – A Compact Evergreen Beauty
Viburnum tinus ‘Compacta’ is a dense, evergreen shrub valued for its neat growth habit, glossy foliage, and clusters of delicate flowers that brighten the garden during the cooler months. This compact cultivar of Viburnum tinus is widely appreciated for its versatility in hedges, borders, and containers, making it an excellent choice for both formal and informal gardens.
Viburnum tinus ‘Compacta’ forms a rounded, bushy shrub with smaller, tighter growth than the standard species. Its dark green, leathery leaves are oval-shaped and glossy, creating an attractive backdrop for the plant’s winter blooms. From late autumn through winter and into early spring, tight clusters of pink buds open into small, star-like white flowers that provide subtle colour and charm when few other plants are flowering.
After flowering, the plant produces small metallic-blue berries that add further ornamental interest and attract birds to the garden.

Melaleuca – Tea Tree Plant
Raithby, WC
Melaleuca alternifolia – Tea Tree Plant
Rare to find.
A quick growing evergreen tree or shrub growing up to 7m tall. It has fine, thinly pointed green leaves and its flowers are white fluffy bottlebrush-like and appear in summer.This incredibly powerful medicinal plant has a lovely scent when the leaves are touched/crushed – the tea tree oil smell.
The trees grow well in coastal conditions but can also withstand light frosts. Fresh sprigs rubbed onto windowsills and kitchen counters help control flies and mosquitoes. It will thrive in any soil but it needs full sun and a deeply dug and well-composted hole in which to get established. The secret is to cut it back to quite harshly every two or three years, to keep it vigorous, tidy and attractive.
The Tea tree is native to N Australia, S New Guinea and the Moluccas. · It is a hardy, medium-sized tree with papery bark, in several layers.
Medicinal Uses.
An easy-to-make lotion of leaves, sprigs and pieces of bark is a superb wash or spray for bites, rashes, scratches, heat rash, itchiness, fungal infections, acne and oily skin, and can be used as a rinse for oily hair and athlete’s foot.

The yellow hooded flowers are in clusters well above the basal foliage which remains as a low ground covering mound.
