Pōhutukawa Tree
What different names does the Pōhutukawa tree have? Metrosideros excelsa, New Zealand Pōhutukawa and New Zealand Christmas tree.
Pōhutukawa trees are found throughout the North Island. Mainly north of New Plymouth and Gisborne. Pōhutukawa trees grow best in warm dry areas close to the sea.
The strong timber wood was used for ship building.
I really like how you told us a little bit about it!!!
