Features and Benefits of Metrosideros Maori Princess

The Maori tree known as Metrosideros Maori Princess stands out with its rich crimson flowers that burst into colour from late spring to mid-summer. These eye-catching blooms not only create a festive display in your garden but also attract native birds and pollinators. With its dense growth habit, Metrosideros Maori Princess provides excellent wind shelter and screening, making it ideal for urban and coastal gardens alike.

Planting and Care Tips

Maori trees like the Metrosideros Maori Princess thrive best in full sun and well-drained soil. While they’re drought-tolerant once established, regular watering in the first year helps promote strong roots and lush growth. Consider adding a layer of mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain your desired shape and encourage a bushier canopy.

Compared to larger pohutukawa varieties, Metrosideros Maori Princess offers manageable growth while delivering stunning seasonal displays. It’s an excellent feature tree, driveway liner, or shelterbelt, especially in exposed or coastal locations.
