Flowering Kowhai
šThe Kowhai is currently in glorious flower, but donāt despair if your tree has just lost all its leaves. As a semi-deciduous plant, itās perfectly natural for the tree to shed its leaves. They will quickly grow back. š
There are 8 species of Kowhai and depending on your variety, your tree could be without leaves before, during, or after flowering.
Tui and Kereru love the Kowhai nectar, making this tree an enormous asset to any garden and providing you with your very own āgoldmineā.
Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
