Manuka is a type of tree that is found throughout New Zealand and gets its name “Tea tree” from Captain Cook. Manuka also known as the Tea tree is a very essential tree in New Zealand. It will take at least 6 years to fully grow. Manuka can also stop soil erosion and can help many other trees grow.
Manuka is a native tree in New Zealand and is mostly found throughout the North, South and Stewart Islands. It is also found in different habitats including dry hill sides, wetlands and river gravels.
The bark from the Manuka tree is used to make tea nowadays and by early settlers. It is a very special tree because it is used as a source for honey and pollen. When Manuka is produced into honey it can even heal and is helpful when treating cuts, burns and even pimples when applied to skin.
Since Manuka is very important to us we need to respect it by not using it as firewood. We need to plant Manuka to help forest regeneration, because Manuka is a widespread plant. When removed from its place it may eliminate the chance of forest generation.
Overall Manuka is a very essential tree and without it we would not have Manuka products like medicine, honey, oil and more. This is not the only reason why the Manuka tree is important, it also helps other trees that grow around it and is a very big money maker.
