White Kanuka Tea Tree {Kunzea ericoides} Highly Fragrant | Tea Alternative | Showy Blooms | Sacred Tree | 100+ seeds
This is a large attractive shrub, very common in South-Eastern Australia,
with a strong scent of honey, when in flower. It would make an attractive
garden shrub, but unfortunately it tends to spread rather rapidly. It
produces huge quantities of tiny seeds and unlike its close cousins the
Tea-trees (Leptospermum), it does not hold onto its seeds, but releases
them as soon as they are ripe. It is a very rapid colonizer of disturbed
ground and therefore reluctantly omitted from my choices for planting in the garden.
