Hi there, Please confirm the (mature) size and shrub shape of Leptospermum nanum kiwi: - All internet website research gives the mature height as being 30cm to 40cm - I'm searching for Leptospermum shrubs for the mid-area of a large border, and 1m to 1.2m height would be ideal Many thanks, Wendy

Kia ora, The mature height of Leptospermum nanum 'Kiwi' is indeed around 30–40 cm, and it forms a low, compact, spreading shrub. Unfortunately, it does not typically reach 1–1.2 m, so it may be too small for the mid-area of a large border. Many thanks.
