Native Pōhutukawa Large

Regular price $90.00 Sale

 

The magnificent native Pōhutukawa tree is well known for its spreading shape and beautiful red flowers showing in December and January.  For this reason, the Pōhutukawa is often referred to as the NZ Christmas Tree.   The flowers are composed of stamens, giving them their distinctive brush-like look.

The Pōhutukawa tree has a deep spiritual meaning for Māori which connects the beginning and ending of human life. In mythology, the red flowers of the tree represent the blood of the warrior Tāwhaki, a spirit ancestor who showed the way from earth to heaven.  He subsequently fell to earth and the crimson flowers are said to represent his blood.

Pohutukawa

I purchased a large Pohutukawa for my friend whose husband passed away recently. I ordered online. It was so simple and the family received the gift within 2 days. They absolutely love it. Such a special gift to remember a loved one. The beauty is they can take it with them if they ever decide to move as it is easily transportable.
