Manuka as a Medicinal Tea Bush Medicinal manna tea is made from the leaves. The tea has a pleasant flavor and is rich in vitamin C. If you are a beekeeper, plant manuka nearby to produce highly sought-after medicinal "manuka honey". Manuka Tea Shrub More Uses:Infuse savory flavor into smoked meats using Manuka wood chips. You will find more uses for the tea tree in medicinal texts from around the world online. Germination Procedure: This seed germinates sporadically and requires sunlight to sprout. Choose a soil that won't allow the seeds to "fall into darkness" when watered. Dampen the soil well before sowing the tiny seeds on the surface so that when you mist water later on, the seeds will still remain, and be less likely to fall down into the soil away from the needed sunlight. Keep seeds and soil in 75 degree temperatures. Under these conditions, some of the seeds germinate within 3 weeks. Others could take months to germinate. ***Priority mail and tracking option: To upgrade your order to Priority mail, simply add your item(s) to the cart and find the item I have available for a Priority Mail Upgrade...add it to your cart along with your item(s) by selecting to Buy It Now and pay for it and your other items in 1 cart transaction.
