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.
Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now thereās an easy solution to all that tyre waste. Itās called Tyrewise and is New Zealandās first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
