Why Choose a Titoki Tree (Alectryon excelsus)?

The Titoki tree is celebrated for its spreading canopy of bright green, shiny leaves and its striking red fruit, which attract native birds like the kererū and tūī. It’s an excellent choice for gardeners seeking an easy-care native that copes well with urban, coastal, and sheltered rural settings. Titoki trees are drought tolerant once established and have a moderate growth rate, eventually maturing to impressive heights up to 10 metres.

Growing Conditions and Care

Titoki thrives in well-drained soils, preferring a spot with full sun to partial shade. Though tolerant of a wide range of conditions, providing shelter from strong winds encourages the best form and foliage. Mulch well, particularly in the first years, and water regularly until the tree is established. Pruning is rarely required but can help maintain shape if grown for hedging or as part of a shelterbelt.

Landscaping Uses for Titoki

Whether you’re aiming to restore native habitat, create a low-maintenance privacy screen, or just introduce timeless beauty, the Titoki tree delivers. Its dense foliage and attractive upright form make it ideal as a specimen tree, in native planting schemes, or as a shade provider near patios and play areas. Many gardeners pair Titoki with other natives or contrasting exotics for year-round interest. If you appreciate striking foliage, you may also wish to explore Griselinia 'Maitai' for lush, green hedging, or consider deciduous trees like Acer freemanii 'Jeffersred' for vivid autumn display.
