A small bushy native shrub that grows wild and abundantly through New Zealand. Liking areas of acidic and low nutrient soils, from sand dunes to mountainous regions. The branches and leaves are covered in silky white hairs, which release essential oil when rubbed. The word Manuka comes from the Maori term meaning nervousness or anxiety.
