Description: The kōwhai is one of the best known native trees in New Zealand and it’s our unofficial national flower. They are best known for their brilliant yellow flowers that appear in profusion in Spring and stand out among the forest greenery.
Kōwhai grow from a seed in the ground to become a tree up to 25 m high. It's found throughout New Zealand in a diverse range of habitats from riparian forests, coastal cliff faces to inland grey scrub communities.
