  • The pohutukawa tree (Metrosideros excelsa) with its crimson flower has become an established part of the New Zealand Christmas tradition. This iconic Kiwi Christmas tree, which often features on greeting cards and in poems and songs, has become an important symbol for New Zealanders at home and abroad. <br />
<br />
Pohutukawa and its cousin rata also hold a prominent place in Maori tradition. Legends tell of Tawhaki, a young Maori warrior, who attempted to find heaven to seek help in avenging the death of his father. He fell to earth and the crimson flowers are said to represent his blood.

  • Kakariki began eating flax on TIritiri Matangi in the late 1990s, reducing flax-flower stems down to only two by 2000!  When kakriki numbers declined significantly in the winter of 2001, flax flowering improved, much to the benefit of the three nectar-eating species: tui, bellbird, and stitchbird.
