Kunzea serotina

Kānuka / Makahikatoa

A small tree with small, narrow, scented leaves. Attractive loose papery bark. Showy white flowers are attractive to pollinators. An important revegetation species, Kānuka is a coloniser of exposed ground, but can also be used to underplant gorse as a control strategy. Naturally occupies the same regions across New Zealand as other Kānuka species, compared to which the physical characteristics differ only slightly. Hybridises with K. robusta. Resistant to Mānuka blight. Moderately frost tolerant.

How does shipping work?

Freight is calculated automatically at checkout for smaller orders. For bulkier consignments, we’ll be back in touch to confirm a freight price. See our Shipping Information for more details.

North Island Customers: Shipping costs can be significant (and sometimes exceed the plant value), so combining items into a larger order helps keep it cost-effective.
