Puhutukawa and rata trees are among New Zealand's most beloved and recognisable national icons, symbolising summer, nationhood and the unique natural environment.

"Puhutukawa & Rata: New Zealand's Iron-hearted Trees" celebrates these unique trees--their place in the natural world, their importance to Maori, their role in symbolism, art, and design, and their many remarkable uses--as well as the threat they face today from possums, progress and people.
