Leptospermum scoparium, commonly called mānuka or broom tea-tree, is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae, native to Australia and New Zealand. 

It is a prolific scrub-type tree and is often one of the first species to regenerate on cleared land. It is typically a shrub growing to 2–5 m (7–16 ft) tall, but can grow into a moderately sized tree, up to 15 m (49 ft) or so in height. It is evergreen, with dense branching and small leaves 7–20 mm (0.28–0.79 in) long and 2–6 mm (0.079–0.24 in) broad, with a short spine tip. The flowers are white, occasionally pink, 8–15 mm (0.31–0.59 in) (rarely up to 25 mm (0.98 in)) in diameter, with five petals. The wood is tough and hard.

Easyli grown in acidic, fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Provide regular irrigation during the summer.
