Pohutukawa at Mahurangi Harbour - a photo on Flickriver

Pohutukawa at Mahurangi Harbour

             Metrosideros excelsa (pohutukawa, New Zealand Christmas tree) is a coastal evergreen tree native to New Zealand.  Renowned for its vibrant colour and its ability to survive even perched on rocky, precarious cliffs, it has found an important place in New Zealand culture.
The Mahurangi River is a tidal estuary in northern New Zealand that widens into the Mahurangi Harbour (seen on the left) before opening into the outer Hauraki Gulf. The Mahurangi Harbour is a sheltered anchorage in all weathers with many small bays and islands.
