Manuka honey--the queen of all honeys with its richer, darker, and fuller flavor--is produced by bees that call the New Zealand Tea Tree's flowers home base during snack time. In fact, the nectar is such a staple of the bees' diet that the New Zealand Tea Tree is often referred to simply as Manuka. But it's not just bees that find this plant delightful; many people think the leaves also make a delightful cup of tea (especially with a spoonful of Manuka honey). New Zealand Tea Tree is an upright shrub that produces beautiful pink blooms. Most Manuka honey is produced in this plant's native environment--New Zealand and Australia. The tea is often described as earthy, woody, and sweet yet slightly bitter.

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.

Mulberry Fuel: Set it and forget it for 90 days

While we call it Mulberry Fuel after our favorite fruiting tree, this fertilizer can really be used on any fruiting plant to ensure its plans come to fruition.

Apply the granules of this 20-6-9, slow-release formula to the soil surface of your plants and they will slowly feed them over a 90-day period.
