Vitex lucens – Puriri A majestic native, the Puriri is deeply rooted in New Zealand’s natural heritage, offering both ecological and cultural significance. Its lush, glossy green foliage and nearly year-round pink blooms provide an essential nectar source for Tui, Bellbirds, and other native birds, enriching biodiversity in any landscape. Beyond its beauty, the large pinkish-red berries sustain wildlife, adding to its role as a taonga (treasured) tree in Maori tradition. Often incorporated into Marae plantings, its ability to provide shade, shelter, and food for native birds makes it an invaluable choice for restoration projects and community spaces. Thriving in coastal and damp environments and tolerating wind, this resilient species grows to approximately 15m+. Bulk planting for Marae landscapes ensures lasting environmental benefits, enhancing native ecosystems, traditional gathering spaces, and cultural connections for generations to come. A true symbol of strength, sustainability, and heritage, ideal for those looking to honor New Zealand’s natural legacy while creating functional, thriving landscapes.
