Description The tree grows up to 20 metres (66 ft) in height, with a dome-like spreading form. Its natural range is the coastal regions of the North Island of New Zealand, north of a line stretching from New Plymouth (39 S) to Gisborne (38 S). It also grows on the shores of lakes in the Rotorua area. A giant Phutukawa at Te Araroa on the East Coast is reputed to be the largest in the country, with a height of 20 metres and a spread of 38 metres (120 ft). The tree is renowned as a cliff-dweller, able to maintain a hold in precarious, near-vertical situations. Some specimens have matted, fibrous aerial roots. Like its Hawaiian relative the hia lehua (M. polymorpha), the Phutukawa has shown itself to be efficient in the colonisation of lava plains notably on Rangitoto, a volcanic island in the Hauraki Gulf.
