Metrosideros excelsa x umbellata ‘Maungapiko’
Pōhutukawa and Southern Rātā Hybrid
This narrow-growing and erect tree is adorned with shiny, pointed, fresh-green leaves. From early to mid-summer, a profusion of scarlet flowers covers Metrosideros excelsa x umbellata ‘Maungapiko’, which attract birds. Metrosideros excelsa x umbellata ‘Maungapiko’ is an excellent tough coastal tree and is able to withstand much more frost than the traditional Metrosideros excelsa. It is also a great choice as a street tree. Metrosideros excelsa x umbellata is evergreen and native to New Zealand. Metrosideros excelsa x umbellata is a natural hybrid between Metrosideros excelsa and Metrosideros umbellata. Metrosideros excelsa x umbellata ‘Maungapiko’ was discovered by Graeme Platt in the early 1980s growing in mānuka scrub at the junction of Maungapiko Track and the old Port Fitzroy – Whangaparapara Road (now Forest Road) on Great Barrier Island, New Zealand. The original tree has since been destroyed by road widening.
