Description
Kunzea robusta, commonly known as kānuka, is a fast-growing New Zealand native tree with fine, aromatic foliage and masses of small white flowers in summer. It provides valuable habitat and nectar for pollinators, including bees and native insects. Kānuka is highly adaptable, thriving in a range of soils and conditions, from coastal to inland areas. It is drought-tolerant, wind-resistant, and excellent for erosion control and revegetation projects. Preferring full sun to partial shade, Kunzea robusta is low-maintenance and develops into an attractive, bushy tree that adds structure and biodiversity to landscapes while improving soil health and ecosystem resilience.
