Pohutukawa grow to around fifteen metres, with a fairly large round canopy. They flower in late December (the sourthern hemisphere summer), with a brilliant crimson flower covering the canopy, hence their nickname.
The giant pohutukawa in Te Araroa[?] on the East Coast is reputed to be the largest in the country, but fine examples can be found in just about any New Zealand coastal city.
