Our Plants

Grown locally, seed sourced native species that are strong and thrive into the future.

Kunzea ericoides

Kānuka is not grazed by any livestock or browsing animals, this makes them good to plant in regenerative areas where livestock is currently grazed As the Kānuka become established, they provide a canopy for more tender or slow-growing species.  Grows on soils that contain rock fragments and in areas with steep slopes, and hard rock.  The flower provides a source of nectar for native bees, birds, gecko, flies, moths and beetles. Similar to Mānuka tree but its leaves are softer to touch and is often larger.  The bright green, finely, - leaves and small flowers with very low  numbers also help to identify this variety of Kānuka
