Kanuka Plant

Kunzea ericoides

Kunzea ericoides, commonly known as Kanuka, is a fast-growing, NZ native tree. It features small, dark green leaves that release a pleasant fragrance when touched or in a light breeze. Small, white flowers are borne in abundance through summer and are great for attracting birds and bees. This evergreen typically grows to 8 m in height and 4 m in width, and can be trimmed as necessary. Kunzea ericoides is commonly grown for its sheltering properties, clipped into a slender hedge, or used in native revegetation and riparian plantings.
