Closely related to the native Pohutukawa it also has beautiful vibrant orange/red flowers that bloom from midwinter through spring, so provides colour in the garden when you need it. This is from the Islands and is a stunning choice for both coastal and inland gardens. Metrosideros Tahiti is a more compact form that grows to about 1 metre. This species also stands more frost than others.

A first choice for coastal planting, being tolerant of strong winds and salt-laden air. Equally stunning for inland gardens. Regular pinching and trimming will maintain the shape desired.
