New Zealand Native Plants Kanuka or Kunzea Ericoides Manuka or Leptospermum Scoparium. A common name for both trees is Tea Tree. Both trees have the same type of bark, the leaves look similar, although Kanuka has soft leaves and Manuka has prickly feeling leaves. Both have similar seed capsules and 5 petaled white flowers. There are other varieties that have various other stunning flower colours such as red, pink, crimson etc. • Manuka honey is sold around the world and is said to be a natural antibiotic. Manuka honey even had an appearance on the Dr. Oz show. You can make a bush tea from the leaves of both trees. The sawdust from both trees is commonly used for smoking meat, I normally just peal of some of the bark and break it down by rolling the bark in between the palms of my hands. Andrew Crowe in his field guide to the Native Edible Plants of New Zealand states a sugary gum can be occasionally found on young Manuka branches . And the this gum tastes and looks like a lump of damp icing sugar . • I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor ( / editor )
