In a Nutshell:
* Kunzea ericoides (K?nuka, White tea-tree or Burgan) is a tree or shrub that is restricted to Australia and New Zealand. Until 1983, K?nuka was classified as being in the genus Leptospermum.
* With its small but abundant flowers it can colour a whole hillside white, almost giving the appearance of snow cover. It is widespread particularly in coastal scrub and colonizing land recovering after a fire or reverting to a natural state after being used for agriculture. more...
* The flowers have a delicate sweet perfume.
* A refreshing tea can be made from the young shoot tips.
* The leaves and young shoots are antihalitosis, antiphlogistic, astringent, depurative, sedative and stomachic.
* Seed - sow spring in a greenhouse and only just cover the seed. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse for at least their first winter. Plant out in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts, and give some protection from the cold for their first winter or two outdoors. The seed remains viable for many years. more...
