Parapara, Birdcatcher Tree
Pisonia brunoniana, commonly known as parapara or bird catcher tree, is a small evergreen native of northern New Zealand. Reaching up to 6 metres tall, it has broad, glossy leaves and produces sticky, ribbed fruits in summer that cling to birds for seed dispersal. This unusual feature has earned it its common name. Parapara grows best in sheltered, coastal environments with well drained soil and is well suited to ecological restoration projects focused on rare or threatened native species.
