This poem is about a key part of any Kiwi Christmas – pohutakawa trees in full bloom! They are spectacular, one of many natural treasures beloved by New Zealanders everywhere.

Only two more sleeps to go!
Pohutukawa You are an explosion of red and green Adorning front doors, greeting cards and nativity scenes Strong trunk supporting branches laden with dense foliage And baubles of prefect Christmas red You epitomize summer, my pohutukawa friend.
