It's the 7 00:00:22,053 --> 00:00:24,893 Speaker 2: time of year where if you're looking for a little 8 00:00:24,933 --> 00:00:27,893 Speaker 2: bit of color in the garden, you've got a couple 9 00:00:27,933 --> 00:00:31,213 Speaker 2: of little options on the native front that could add 10 00:00:31,213 --> 00:00:31,773 Speaker 2: a bit of pop. 11 00:00:32,893 --> 00:00:35,253 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right. I'm looking at the moment the princess 12 00:00:35,493 --> 00:00:39,613 Speaker 3: and the tree in front of me as your cherry 13 00:00:39,653 --> 00:00:43,413 Speaker 3: tree that exactly finished almost its flowering, and people love 14 00:00:43,453 --> 00:00:45,933 Speaker 3: these things. But I thought, you know what, we've got 15 00:00:45,973 --> 00:00:50,373 Speaker 3: so many good New Zealand endemic trees. I love that 16 00:00:50,493 --> 00:00:54,133 Speaker 3: word endemic. It only occurs in New Zealand. Number one, 17 00:00:54,773 --> 00:00:56,653 Speaker 3: I've got a it's not a real tree, it's a 18 00:00:56,693 --> 00:00:58,573 Speaker 3: shrub in this case, and it could be a climber 19 00:00:58,653 --> 00:01:05,613 Speaker 3: called Metrosidros carminia. It's actually closely related to the Purutakawa, okay, 20 00:01:05,693 --> 00:01:11,053 Speaker 3: and it is unbelievably beautifully red at this gorgeous I think, 21 00:01:11,133 --> 00:01:13,613 Speaker 3: you know, if you really want something that is standing 22 00:01:13,653 --> 00:01:15,853 Speaker 3: out of this town of the year, yeah, get yourself 23 00:01:15,893 --> 00:01:19,973 Speaker 3: a metroc. There's cherminia. It's called the crimson rata, so 24 00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:21,453 Speaker 3: it's actually like a rata tree. 25 00:01:21,613 --> 00:01:23,693 Speaker 2: Yeah right, but it. 26 00:01:23,573 --> 00:01:26,653 Speaker 3: Doesn't always climb up, and it depends on whether you 27 00:01:26,693 --> 00:01:28,973 Speaker 3: take it from a cutting or whether you take it 28 00:01:29,013 --> 00:01:31,013 Speaker 3: from seeds. And if you take it from cutting it 29 00:01:31,053 --> 00:01:34,253 Speaker 3: becomes a shrub. Where you take it from seeds, it 30 00:01:34,373 --> 00:01:36,533 Speaker 3: climbs up your house. I was there. 31 00:01:36,693 --> 00:01:37,413 Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. 32 00:01:37,413 --> 00:01:42,773 Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, number two cofi.

And it has this wonderful zig zagging 48 00:02:29,373 --> 00:02:35,453 Speaker 3: system of branches which which looks quite weird, but it 49 00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:39,213 Speaker 3: actually makes the bush really really dense. And then in 50 00:02:39,253 --> 00:02:42,213 Speaker 3: the winter time it's kind of this really strange dark 51 00:02:42,493 --> 00:02:45,733 Speaker 3: brownie orange color as well, so it changes its color. 52 00:02:46,173 --> 00:02:49,333 Speaker 3: It's just amazing.
