Pohutukawa & Rata trees are among New Zealand's most beloved and recognisable national icons, symbolising summer, nationhood and our unique natural environment. Pohutukawa & Rata: New Zealand's Iron-hearted Trees celebrates these unique trees - their place in the natural world, their importance to Maori, their role in symbolism, art, and design, and their many remarkable uses - as well as the threat they face today from possums, progress and people. Containing a wealth of new research, this book really does contain everything you ever wanted to know about Pohutukawa & Rata , generously illustrated with over 400 archival and contemporary photographs, diagrams, maps and full-colour reproductions of New Zealand artworks.
