Kunzea was once grouped with Leptospermum (manuka) but was reclassified due to key differences in growth habit, bark, and floral structure—making it a distinct and ecologically important genus. Why Choose Kunzea ericoides?

A tough, fast-growing, versatile native that thrives where other plants struggle—ideal for shelter, restoration, coastal gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes.
