Prumnopitys ferruginea - Miro
Large
Commonly known as Miro, this is a NZ native tree. The trunk carries grey-brown bark which falls off in thick flakes. It features bright green, feathery leaves which tend to be longer on juvenile plants. Red-purple fruits are borne amidst the foliage in summer and are a preferred food of the New Zealand Wood Pigeon. This tree favours a shady, damp site in full sun but will grow equally well on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of moderate frost, cool climates, and some wind. Miro is commonly grown as a specimen in a large garden, included in a native revegetation project, and is occasionally planted for timber production. It is an attractive tree through all growth stages.
