Metrosideros excelsa, with common names pōhutukawa, New Zealand pohutukawa, New Zealand Christmas tree, New Zealand Christmas bush, and iron tree, is a coastal evergreen tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, that produces a brilliant display of red (or occasionally orange, yellow or white) flowers made up of a mass of stamens. The pōhutukawa is one of twelve Metrosideros species endemic 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 for its strength and beauty and is regarded as a chiefly tree (rākau rangatira) by Māori.The blossom of the tree is called kahika.
Pōhutukawa Honey is a sweet, high-quality honey and pure gold in colour, it has delicate floral flavours that truly captures the taste of the New Zealand summer.
Due to scarcity of supply, Pōhutukawa honey is only available at limited times.
