The Puka (Meryta sinclairii) pictured, a beautiful tree that I simply love - is a large-leaved evergreen tree endemic to New Zealand that grows to about 8 meters tall. Puka have 27 different species, and occur naturally on the Three Kings islands and the Hen and Chicken islands.

A single tree procured from the Poor Knights Islands by Māori, protected by a fence and declared sacred. Was... [view details]
