Frequently Asked Questions
What is New Zealand’s native flowering tree?
New Zealand has several beautiful native flowering trees, but the most iconic is the Metrosideros excelsa (Pōhutukawa), often called New Zealand’s Christmas tree because it blooms with brilliant crimson flowers during December.
Other significant native trees include the Knightia excelsa (Rewarewa), Sophora tetraptera (Kōwhai), and Cordyline australis(Tī kōuka). These trees have evolved to thrive in our unique conditions. Due to their resilience and cultural significance, they are excellent choices for commercial landscaping projects.
What is the most popular flowering tree for sale?
This varies depending on specific landscape applications, but several consistently rank at the top for commercial projects nationwide.
Magnolias stand out as premium choices for statement plantings in commercial developments. Their impressive, fragrant blooms create focal points that transform corporate entrances and public spaces with relatively few specimens. The larger-flowered varieties like Magnolia ‘Vulcan‘ and ‘Black Tulip’ are particularly sought after for their dramatic displays.
For native options, the Sophora tetraptera (Kōwhai) and other varieties in the family remain New Zealand’s most beloved flowering tree. It combines cultural significance with striking golden blooms that cascade down branches in spring. Commercial clients value how these trees attract tūī and other native birds, adding movement and sound to landscaped environments while supporting biodiversity initiatives.
In coastal developments, the iconic Metrosideros excelsa (Pōhutukawa) dominates specifications. It offers unmatched resilience to harsh conditions while providing the distinctive red flowering display that has become symbolic of the New Zealand summer. Its ability to thrive where other flowering trees struggle makes it invaluable for challenging commercial sites and those considering options for driveway trees in NZ.
At Leafland, we maintain a substantial stock of all these popular NZ flowering trees in sizes suitable for immediate impact in commercial projects.
