The unmistakably rich character of (Eucalyptus patens) Black Butt honey delivers a full, satisfying flavour, and has naturally occurring consistent high levels of anti-bacterial activity. The honey is dark in colour, and similar to Jarrah - it stays liquid for a long time. Black Butt trees grow in moist soil, usually near rivers and creeks, in the Jarrah forests. Like many Eucalyptus trees, Blackbutt is becoming rare both due to logging and unpredictable flowering. See http://www.agric.wa.gov.au/PC_92553.html for more information about the Black Butt tree.
