Tree Gifts for Baby and Mum | Pohutukawa Tree Gift Box

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. Metrosideros excelsa grows to approximately 15m but can be contained in a pot. Generally Trees Please! will use Metrosideros excelsa ‘Vibrance’ or alternative varieties which grow to approximately 4-5m. However Metrosideros excelsa may be substituted from time to time.

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.

Delivered in a Trees Please! pine gift box as shown. Gift includes complimentary Trees Please! message card and care notes.

Features

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.

All trees come in their purpose designed outer pine gift box with 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.
