Puriri Tree


The other treat that the arborist gave us was identifying this tree. I hadn't realised that it was a native - a puriri tree - as it's planted alongside magnolias and other exotic species. The berries are loved by kereru - the native pigeon - and puriri moths make their homes in the trunks and branches of this tree. A great addition to our landscape.
