MERYTA SINCLAIRII PUKA In New Zealand

MERYTA SINCLAIRII - PUKA

A medium sized NZ Native tree with thick, glossy, large green leaves and a straight upright growing habit which can spread out into a crown as the tree matures to create a canopy. The trunk has a fleshy top while the main body hardens into wood. A real feature in the garden. The form of Puka allows it to be trimmed to contain its size. Best trimmed in the Spring to maximise growth; remove old looking leaves.
