Can anyone (Mike?) expand on this?

Well I hope their Leptospermum trees survived the winter. Mine didn't

Bad luck. Mine did survive ( several weeks below zero, coldest was -
6C) and one of them has been in flower for a fortnight.

Damaged/apparently dead ones will sometimes sprout again from the roots so
I wouldn't give up hope yet for yours.

Thanks for the tip.
