There has always been a strange rivalry between Australia & New Zealand. Rugby Union, Netball, Cricket, Horse Racing and Manuka Honey! It also goes back to fighting wars together ANZAC (Australian & New Zealand Army Corp) Regardless of where Leptospermum scoparium grows naturally, I’m very glad it does. Never heard of it as “jelly bush” but tea-tree is very common.

It’s certainly gained in popularity and price.

Manuka honey is a power house but you have to be careful when buying it. I've seen honey labeled as manuka in the grocery store when it's not 100% pure manuka.
