|  Metrosideros excelsa
Commonly known as NZ’s Christmas Tree because of it’s spectacular bright scarlet blooms which flower from early summer. While it is naturally found in the northern part of the North Island, it can grow in coastal areas of the South Island including as far south as Dunedin. Frost tender while young. ‘Vibrance’ will grow to approximately 4m. Pohutukawa nectar is favoured by apiarists as well as bellbirds and tui and some species of native gecko. Pohutukawa wood is very strong so was used in boat building. Because our trees come in their own planter, there is no rush for the recipient to plant them out immediately. Trees will last in their planters for several weeks - months, providing they are watered and well looked after. Trees Please trees are sourced from leading Auckland nurseries and potted into top quality potting mix. The planters are covered with brown paper, to reduce the chance of spillage in transit. All trees come in their purpose designed outer pine gift box which has an opening for air and light, plus leather carry handle, making it ideal for easy delivery throughout New Zealand. Because we care for our environment, components are recyclable, or come from sustainable or recycled sources. Outer boxes can be reused as a planter box, storage box or to send other gifts in. Trees in large gift box come with standard green lid unless red is ordered. We supply Meterosideros excelsa "vibrance" which grows to 4m however other varieties may be substituted due to availability which may be larger growing varieties. |
