Nz Native Trees That Like Wet Feet
Laurelia novae-zelandiae (Pukatea)
Laurelia novae-zelandiae, commonly known as Pukatea, is a NZ native tree that thrives in damp areas. This slow growing tree has a distinctive buttressed trunk which gives it lateral support. It bears attractive, glossy green leaves with a serrated edge, and grows slowly to eventually reach 25 m tall and 10 m wide. Laurelia novae-zelandiae is commonly planted around swampy areas or on the edge of a stream, grown as a specimen, or included in a revegetation exercise.
