Leptospermum squarrosum, commonly known as the peach blossom tea-tree,[2] is an upright shrub of the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to central eastern New South Wales.

It has thin, firm bark, broadly lance-shaped to elliptical leaves, relatively large white or pink flowers and fruit that remain on the plant when mature.

Flowering mostly occurs from March to April and the fruit is a capsule mostly 8–12 mm (0.31–0.47 in) wide that remain on the plant at maturity.

[6][7] Peach blossom tea-tree grows in shrubland on sandstone soils in coastal areas and nearby tablelands of New South Wales, but especially in the Sydney region.

[2][3] This tea-tree is a hardy shrub that grows best in a sunny situation in well-drained soil, but is salt-resistant and tolerates exposed positions.
