The Manuka tree, scientifically known as *Leptospermum scoparium*, is a small evergreen tree native to New Zealand and Australia. It typically grows between 2 to 5 meters tall and features narrow, aromatic leaves and white to pink flowers. The tree thrives in well-drained soils and is often found in coastal and mountainous regions.
The Manuka tree is best known for its honey, which is produced by bees that pollinate its flowers. This honey is highly valued for its unique flavor and potential health benefits, including antibacterial properties. The tree also plays a role in local ecosystems, providing habitat for various wildlife.
