Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Phyllocladus trichomanoides
Height: 7m;  Spread: 3m
Tanekaha (Tree)
Very attractive specimen tree with upright growth habit. The "foliage" is actually flattened stems.
