Trochocarpa laurina, commonly known as tree heath, axebreaker, sandberry, wheel-fruit or waddy wood,[2] is a species of flowering plant of the family Ericaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia.

Trochocarpa laurina is a compact shrub to crooked tree that typically grows to a height of up to 13 m (43 ft) and has grey to brownish black bark.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1807 by Edward Rudge who gave it the name Cyathodes laurina in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London from specimens collected near Port Jackson.

[6] Tree heath grows in gullies, amongst rock and on creekbanks and escarpments in warm-temperate, sub-tropical and sometimes dry rainforest on the coast and nearby ranges in New South Wales and Queensland.

[7] In August 1990, the then-largest known specimen was documented in the Sydney suburb of Eastwood; it stood 13.4 m (44 ft) tall.
