What native flower is New Zealand's floral emblem?
New Zealand does not officially have a national flower. However the Kowhai (Sophora microphylla) is considered by many to be the national flower of New Zealand. A small to medium sized tree, it blooms in spring, covering itself with yellow flowers, turning gardens to gold.It doesn't take an act of Parliament or any sort of government decree to declare a national flower; it just takes the population to decide. So some regard another flower: that of the Pohutukawa, a North Island coastal tree with brilliant red blooms, as their national flower. New Zealand recognizes the silver fern, which appears on their military uniforms and many sports uniforms, as a national symbol.We don't have an officially accepted national flower, but if there were one, it would probably be the kowhai, a sulphur-yellow pendulous bloom on an evergreen tree.
Do possums kill native trees in New Zealand?
Yes. Possums are causing considerable destruction to New Zealand's environment, to which they were introduced in the 1800s. In New Zealand, possums are taking over native bushland, pushing out native species of birds, for which New Zealand is unique. Possums feed on the vegetation, reducing its availability for native species, and nest in the trees, forcing smaller species out. There are no natural predators of the possum in New Zealand, so their population has increased dramatically. Possums strip the native plants of leaves, buds, flowers, fruits and seeds, meaning less chances of propagation. New Zealand trees do not have defensive chemicals of some Australian native trees, meaning the possums can continue to eat from one tree until the tree has been severely affected. Many of these plant species are disappearing from the New Zealand forests, and allowing invasive non-native species to take hold of the forests.
