Pohutukawa by chikadnz

Pohutukawa

We called in to Mum's place today to collect some green waste (garden rubbish) to put in my sister's bin. On the way home we stopped at the Hairini Bridge but not much was happening there. The expected high was 29degC today so we parked in the shade under this massive old pohutukawa tree, previously photographed here:

@ziggy77 @marlboromaam @koalagardens @onewing @haskar @narayani @shutterbug49 @omabluebird Thanks all for your comments and faves. @rensala The pohutukawa is known as New Zealand's Christmas tree as it flowers around that time (our summer) as in this example: https://365project.org/chikadnz/365/2025-12-02
