Metrosideros excelsa 'Māori Princess' is a cultivar of New Zealand's native pōhutukawa tree. This evergreen tree is celebrated for its vibrant crimson flowers that bloom from early summer, attracting nectar-feeding birds. It typically reaches a height of 10 meters and a spread of 6 meters, forming an upright, conical shape. The tree features dark green, leathery leaves with silver-grey undersides, adding to its ornamental appeal. It is highly tolerant of coastal conditions, wind, and poor soils, making it suitable for coastal gardens, street plantings, hedging, and as a specimen tree in larger landscapes. Notably, this cultivar was selected for its upright form and lack of aerial roots, enhancing its suitability for urban environments.
