• Vitex lucens - puriri

Description

  • Description
 A large, evergreen tree native to New Zealand. It thrives in coastal and lowland forests, reaching heights of up to 20 meters. Its glossy, dark green leaves form a dense canopy, providing shelter for native birds. Puriri produces clusters of tubular pink to red flowers year-round, followed by bright red berries that attract kererū (wood pigeons) and other wildlife. The tree’s durable, hard wood was traditionally used by Māori for tools and structures. Valued for its resilience and beauty, puriri is often planted in restoration projects and ornamental gardens
