A spectacular sight is unfolding in our reserves currently…
If you’ve never experienced a stroll through one of our reserves while Kohekohe are in full bloom – now is the time
You will find our amazing Kohekohe are currently flowering and fruiting with those huge golf ball sized fruits, in Redwood Bush and Wilf Mexted Reserve.
The tūī are veeery vocal while feeding on the flowers – so it’s a visual and auditory treat and well worth a wee walk amongst it.
Here’s some images from Redwood Bush (Achilles Close entrance)
You can read more about this awesome tree, a feature of our Tawa reserves in one of Gil Roper’s previous posts on Kohekohe here
You can hear the Tūī chatter in this video (24 June 2025) on our Facebook page
