Biggest Pohutukawa
Pohutukawas, known also as Christmas trees because they bloom about that time of the year, abound on the East Coast and Bay of Plenty areas and are one of the scenic attractions of a motor trip around the coast.
Reputed to be New Zealand's biggest pohutukawa, this tree is growing in the grounds of the new secondary school at Te Araroa, about 100 miles north of Gisborne. The big tree is reported to be 500 years old. Te Araroa was the birthplace of Sir Apirana Ngata, the renowned Maori statesman.
