Birds Eating Grass Seed
Beilschmiedia tarairi (Taraire)
Beilschmiedia tarairi, commonly known as the Taraire tree, is a unique, NZ native tree. Its prominent feature is the masses of olive-like, purple fruits through autumn and winter, which are favoured by birds. Also of interest are the leaves, which, when young, are covered in red-brown hairs that disappear as the tree ages. Taraire grows to about 20 m tall and 7 m wide, with a smooth, brown trunk. Its slow growth rate makes it ideal for long-term landscaping projects, including ecological restoration, park plantings, and as a specimen tree in larger gardens.

Crocosmia Lucifer
Crocosmia Lucifer features amazing red flowers and lush foliage. The showy and long-lasting blooms are borne as clusters off slender stems in summer. They are complemented with lush, grass-like foliage which is held with a gentle arch. The flowers result in seedpods in autumn that are great for attracting birds. This bulbous plant typically grows to 60 cm tall and 50 cm wide, and performs best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of dry periods, frost, cool climates and may die back during these times to regrow when conditions start to warm. Crocosmia Lucifer is commonly included in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container. A mass planting suits this plant.
