Pohutukawa Native Tree Of New Zealand
The New Zealand Pohutukawa
( pronounced> Paw-who-tu-ka-wa)
The Fiery Red Flowering Pohutukawa Tree of New Zealand ,also known as the Christmas Tree ,as it breaks forth in a brilliant display of fire red flowers throughout the Christmas period ,has always been one of my favourite trees. Stunning and beautiful.!!
I have quite a few favourite flowers which always seem to evoke all kinds of happy ,peaceful moments, but I always seem to come back to the Pohutukawa flower. My dad was the real gardener in our family when I was growing up and he made it all look so simple and effortless. The rest of us pottered around or started our flowerbeds with a hiss and a roar ,only to end up losing interest along the way.
The NZ Pohutukawa is also known as the New Zealand Christmas Tree since its flowers bloom prolifically in December.

Conservation I read some time ago of a group of dedicated people calling themselves the "Crimson Brigade' who actively seek to educate and protect this tree from its newest threat , the introduced Brush-tail Possum which strips the tree of its leaves.

thelesleyshow you are so kind and Im sure that tree is magical !aloof and stunning in flower and I think I really like about it is they withstand windy coastal areas.
Pretty flower, pretty tree. I'm not big on flowers myself, Eaglekiwi, but I do love red roses, tulips and lilacs. My cousin has been a florist all his life and still operates his Cascade Florist shop in Hartsdale, N.Y. But the Powhutukawa is new to me.

Tis a beautiful tree in bloom. I imagine it is a fantastic display.
I can't resist throwing a mention of our native Oklahoma Redbud tree. In the spring it is just fantastic. Unfortunately the rest of the year it looks pretty dreary.
Hi Davidseeger-Thankyou for your thoughtful comments.

I definatley will check out your Oklahoma Redbud Tree!
