Why Choose Meryta sinclairii?

Meryta sinclairii (Puka) is prized for its huge, shiny leaves and upright form. It creates dramatic structure in gardens—ideal for those wanting to make a statement. Native to northern New Zealand, Puka thrives in mild, coastal environments and is well-adapted to wind and salt spray. As it matures, its handsome trunk and architectural canopy become even more impressive. Use it as a solitary accent, plant several for a tropical border, or pair with other native trees for a truly Kiwi landscape.

Growing Meryta sinclairii

Puka is known for its fast growth and tolerance of different soil types—just provide shelter from severe frosts. Plant your Meryta sinclairii in a sunny or partly-shaded spot with good drainage. Mulch to keep roots cool and feed with slow-release fertiliser each spring to support robust leaf growth. Water regularly while establishing, but once mature, the Puka is reasonably drought-tolerant. Whether you’re rejuvenating a coastal property or starting a new urban garden, Meryta sinclairii is a breeze to care for.

Landscaping with Meryta sinclairii

The strong tropical look of Puka combines beautifully with other NZ natives and exotics.
