A coastal, evergreen tree that produces a brilliant display of red flowers
made up of a mass of stamens. The Maori people revered it for its strength
and beauty and it has regard by all people of New Zealand.
The Pohutukawa is a native of the coastal fringe of the North Island of New
Zealand north of a line from New Plymouth to Gisborne. It once formed a
continuous coastal fringe forest but agriculture and introduced pests have
reduced it to 10 per cent of its former grandeur and the tree is considered
‘threatened’.
This tree grows up to 25 metres (80 ft) with a dome-like spreading crown,
beautifully textured leaves and flowers from November to January in the
Southern Hemisphere.
Germination
To germinate Metrosideros tomentosa seeds, sow them in spring in a warm
greenhouse and only just cover the seed. When they are large enough to handle,
prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the
greenhouse for at least their first winter.
