Native Trees For Birds
Carpodetus serratus
Carpodetus serratus, commonly known as the Putaputaweta Tree or Marbleleaf, is an attractive, NZ native tree with spreading branches that host marbled foliage. It grows with an open framework though the juvenile form tends to have distinctly tangled growth and a greater degree of leaf marbling. It typically grows to 8 m tall and 3 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. Carpodetus serratus is commonly grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting in a large garden, or included in revegetation and native projects.

Hedycarya arborea
Hedycarya arborea, commonly known as Pigeonwood, is a small tree with attractive, dark green foliage and berries that are a magnet for birds. Clusters of fragrant, white flowers are borne in spring and result in orange-red berries which are a favourite food of the NZ native Wood Pigeon. This evergreen grows with a rounded crown to about 6 m tall and 4 m wide. Hedycarya arborea is a must for larger, native plantings or anywhere larger birds are being encouraged.
