    Rain ForestMainland Pohutukawa (M. excelsa) is found all over the country, although its natural growing range is north of a line stretching from New Plymouth to Gisborne. It is easily distinguished from Rata by its larger, more elongated leaves, the fuzzy underside of its leaves and by its larger flowers.

    Pohutukawa trees blossom in December and January and for this reason it is dubbed New Zealand's Christmas tree.
