It comes, or originally came, from New Zealand. The plant is a relatively small, scrubby looking bush maybe 2 metres tall. Much sought after for firewood. The honey is as good as almost any claims made, I have seen it used as a wound dressing as it has good anti-bacterial properties and for stomach upsets. In my opinion it's best use is on toast.
We have a good selection of native honeys available to us, all with very different caracteristics and tastes. Would like to discus honey with any interested honey lovers.
