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.

Vitex lucens
Vitex lucens (Puriri) grows best in warm, frost-free areas of New Zealand, particularly in the North Island. It prefers a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil, but can tolerate clay soils as long as they are well-drained. Shelter young trees from strong winds and frost during the first few years. Regular watering will help with establishment, and mulching is beneficial for moisture retention and weed control. With time, Puriri becomes a hardy, long-lived feature tree.
