Kowhai Tree

Between August and September the blossoming kowhai tree is herald to the spring season. At the fringes of the Waitakere Ranges heavily filled trees with yellow to golden yellow flowers are occurring. With its beautiful flower dress it became a favourite to humans and birds.

Many artists take inspiration for their paintings or jewellery work. While native birds like the tui bird, New Zealand wood pigeon, and bellbird rival about the sugar rich flowers. Bark and ashes of the tree were used by Maoris for medicinal purposes. Today its valuable qualities are used in skincare products. The tree is small spreading and reaches a height of up to 12 m with a trunk measured 60 cm in diameter. Conspicuous to the tree are the leaves. One leave shows 10 to 20 pairs of oval shaped leaflets on either side of the leave stem. This makes it easily recognizable.
