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.
