Metrosideros Collina ‘Springfire’ (Springfire Pōhutukawa) is a striking evergreen shrub or small tree admired for its vibrant red new growth and glossy green foliage. The fresh flush of bright red leaves creates a bold, eye-catching display that adds colour and contrast to the landscape throughout the year. As it matures, it develops a dense, bushy habit, making it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, or feature planting in both residential and commercial settings.

Highly adaptable and easy to maintain, this hardy plant performs well in coastal and urban environments, tolerating wind, salt, and a range of soil conditions once established. Its compact growth and naturally tidy form require minimal pruning, making it a practical option for low-maintenance gardens. Ideal for adding structure, privacy, and year-round visual interest, Metrosideros Collina ‘Springfire’ is a reliable and vibrant addition to any landscape.
