Metrosideros excelsa (Pohutukawa)
Pohutukawa
New Zealand’s favourite native tree that is also known as the Christmas tree as it produces a fantastic display of red flowers in summer. It is fantastic for coastal shelter and as specimen tree. Very tender when small, keep protected from frosts while young. Pohutukawa is abundant on coastlines of Three Kings Islands and all throughout the North Island as far south as Poverty Bay on the East coast and Urenui on the West. Also around Lake Taupo and Rotorua lakes.
Prefers full sun once mature.
