Ive walked past this tree on my daily walks and have fallen head over heels in love. The leaves are a dark green and dance so gracefully in the wind. In spring it even blooms little white flowers. If you know it, I would be so grateful!

Thanks in advance

The trunks look like crape myrtle...

Really need a better pic of the leaves to be certain...
Does this tree produce flowers?

Where you are it could be a species of Leptospermum. A close-up of the flowers would help.

New Zealand Tea Tree-Leptospermum was my first thought too but yes, need close up of leaves and blooms.

I finally got a picture of the leaves! The tree is quite far away so I hope my camera got close enough for you. Please see attached

Thankyou all

Yes, it is a Leptospermum. If you show the picture to a nurseryperson they will be able to get a more complete identification. There are several species and numerous varieties available, especially in Australia.
