This specimen grows in the lower reaches of the Mt Hartz National Park. Here, where the weather isn’t as harsh as higher up the mountain, the Leatherwood trees are larger and their blossoms are large as well.
As one proceeds to higher altitudes, along the early parts of the Lake Osborne walk, the flowers of the leatherwoods and the trees themselves, become very small. In the right conditions the Leatherwood’s petals can fall and swirl around you in drifts like confetti as you pass beneath them.
In addition, the Leatherwood is favoured by bees and is the source of Tasmania’s unique and flavoursome Leatherwood honey.
