Gotta love these guys: Tui are the second-most important seed disperser of native plants! http://www.terranature.org/tui.htm

Planning is underway for rat & possum control at Pukemokemoke, Tirohanga Rd & Te Tapui in July - September. Low rat & possum numbers =...

April noms for tui: cabbage tree, five finger, white pine, whiteywood mahoe, seven finger and puriri. Good eating!

[Hamilton Halo @HamiltonHalo]

Word is that tui sighted in the city at the moment are probably residents.

[Hamilton Halo @HamiltonHalo]

March noms for tui: Cabbage tree, Kahikatea, Mahoe, Pate, Pigeonwood, Puriri and
Wineberry. (all in flower/fruit this month)!
