Differences between red and White manuka from a commercial point of view were described by a valuer giving evidence in the Auckland Supreme Court. Most of the firewood seen m timber yards was white manuka, he said, as the red manuka was of little value for firing. The white manuka had a rough, stringy bark, whereas the bark of the red manuka was smooth. Large white manuka was very rare now, as it was of very slow growth.
