Metrosideros excel "Aureus" ARBUSTO
Metrosideros excelsus "Aureus"
Family: MYRTACEAE
Growing as large as 9 to 24 m tall, "pohutukawa tree" is an upright, freely branching evergreen tree that becomes more broadly spreading with great age. Its oblong leaves are glossy, dark-green, with densely hairy white undersides, but young trees' leaf undersides are not as white as those on old trees. Around the summer solstice, which in New Zealand corresponds to Christmastime, branch tips bear rounded clusters of tiny, trumpet-like flowers with fiery-red filaments and yellow anthers. Bees and honeyeater birds devour the abundant nectar.
