The New Zealand Christmas Tree


The Pohutukawa Tree.
It flowers just in time for Christmas.
I saw the first flowers out on a tree on Friday.
The flowers vary from scarlet to deep, dark red.
The trees form multiple trunks which make them great for climbing,
only don't try this when they're flowering - the pollen will have you itching all over!
