| | Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, NZ - Iron-hearted Trees: The Story of New Zealand's Pohutukawa and ... |
 | | This book celebrates New Zealand’s unique ‘big red trees’ - their place in the natural world, their importance to Māori, 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. |
 | | The book includes comprehensive diagrams and maps of the trees’ distribution, hundreds of archival and contemporary photographs, and reproductions of both rare and recognisable works from New Zealand art and design. |
 | | With sections on how to grow and care for the trees and a breadth of new research, this book really does contain everything you ever wanted to know about pohutukawa and rata - and more. |
