Metrosideros Excelsa Mistral

Metrosideros Mistral

5 from 1 customers

Metrosideros Mistral (Pōhutukawa) is highly valued in landscaping for its coastal resilience, dramatic flowers, and spreading canopy. It is commonly used as a specimen tree to create a bold focal point in gardens, parks, and coastal reserves. Its ability to withstand salt spray and strong winds makes it ideal for coastal shelterbelts and erosion control on sandy or rocky soils. Pōhutukawa is also planted along roadways, beaches, and cliff edges for stabilisation and beautification. It is also popular in native and ecological restoration projects because it supports native wildlife, especially birds and insects during its flowering season.
