Sweet Kunzea is an attractive tall shrub native to SE New South Wales, eastern Victoria, and eastern Tasmania. Kunzea has quickly become a valued addition to the range of Australian native oils with significant therapeutic qualities.
We have sourced this Sweet Kunzea oil from managed, wild-harvested plants which grow in abundance on a large property in NE Tasmania.
Here at Wild Oils, we have been undertaking selective breeding and selection of superior oil strains of Sweet Kunzea, and are establishing significant plantations for harvest.
