Additionally, their durable wood is used in construction and carving, while the tree's leaves have traditional medicinal uses.

The puriri moth (Aenetus virescens) spends its larval stage feeding on the wood of the native New Zealand puriri tree (Vitex lucens). The larvae bore into the trunk and branches of the tree, causing damage to the host plant.
Puriri moth caterpillars are a pale delicate transparent purplish pink just before pupating however they become more creamy coloured. The head is a dark brown they are about 100mm long and 15mm in diameter.
Puriri are not high on the list of Possum's preferred food. They will eat the flowers and possibly the fruit but don't tend to eat the leaves. Of more concern is the lack of Kereru which spread the seeds.
