This listing is for 100 seeds of the Lord Howe Pohutukawa, Latin name Metrosideros nervulosa due to the finely nerved appearance of its leaves. This has not been germination tested but be aware that Metrosideros as a genus tends to grow very slowly for the first few years when grown from seed.

These have red flowers and dark green leaves. In the same genus as the New Zealand Pohutukawa (M.excelsa) but different shaped leaves and the trees form more of a bush than a tree. Looks nice growing in a rockery or would even make a great hedge.

These are native to Lord Howe Island which is off the coast of Australia but has very similar flora to New Zealand.


You have the option of sending via regular air mail or expedited shipping. If you need a tracking number, please choose the expedited shipping option even though it is more expensive, because if you opt for regular mail, I cannot provide tracking. 

If your address is in South America, Arabian Peninsula or Africa you MUST choose expedited shipping. Normal mail often does not seem to get to these destinations from New Zealand. 

Expedited shipping takes less than 1 week worldwide. Regular mail to the rest of the world (apart from the above geographical regions) often takes 4-6 weeks. Please do not complain if you haven't received your seeds after 2 weeks. If you live in Greece, or neighbouring countries please be aware that it is not unusual for regular mail from New Zealand to take 8 weeks to reach you.
