Did you know?  Commonly known as the tick bush or white kunzea, this plant is native to Australia and belongs to the Myrtaceae family. Kunzea ambigua has a unique adaptation to fire-prone environments, being able to resprout from its base after a fire. This survival strategy enables it to quickly regenerate and thrive in The Australian landscape, which is often subject to bushfires.

Furthermore, the plant possesses a somewhat rare capability known as ‘phytoremediation,’ meaning it can help to remove toxins from the soil. This not only makes it an important part of its ecosystem for regrowth after fires but also potentially useful in environmental cleanup efforts.

Suggested Storage:

• Stored at temperature <30°C in closed containers and protected from direct sunlight.

Supplier information: Our supplier has been implementing a series of regenerative practices designed to restore the health and vitality of the plantations, which have not been maintained for up to 15 years. These include selective harvesting to ensure that younger, healthier trees have the space and sunlight needed to thrive. In addition, there is a significant investment in undergrowth management to control weeds and prevent them from outcompeting native plants, thus preserving the biodiversity that is essential for a healthy ecosystem. By adopting these regenerative practices, the supplier aims not only to improve the yield and quality of the harvest but also to contribute to the broader ecological restoration of the area. This holistic approach guarantees the sustainability of the plantations for future generations, aligning with global efforts towards environmental conservation and responsible land management.
