Keeping Birds Off Lawn 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.

Sophora tetraptera (Large Leaved Kōwhai)
Sophora tetraptera, commonly known as Large-Leaved Kowhai, is a striking New Zealand native tree recognised for its broad leaflets and vivid yellow spring flowers. Native to the North Island, it typically grows 6–10 metres tall and forms a rounded canopy. The nectar-rich blooms attract native birds, such as tūī and bellbirds, making it an ideal choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Hardy and tolerant of dry conditions, this tree is perfect for use as a specimen, in native plantings, or restoration projects.
