The Pohutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) is a native New Zealand tree that grows naturally in coastal regions of the northern half of the North Island. It has brilliant crimson coloured flowers and blooms between November and January, peaking in late December and for this reason is often called New Zealand's Christmas tree.
