Fuchsia excorticata Details

Fuchsia excorticata, commonly known as Kotukutuku or Tree Fuchsia, is the largest of the fuchsia species growing to 8 m tall and 4 m wide. The tree produces green and purple flowers in spring, which age to red, and attract all manner of wildlife. They result in purple berries which remain on the plant for some time and continue to attract birds. The leaves on this deciduous tree are small and green, and held somewhat densely on a spreading crown. An interesting characteristic of this tree is the light brown, peeling bark which is quite unique. Best results with this plant are achieved when it is planted in a partial shade, sheltered position with a rich soil that does not dry out. It will tolerate frost, cool climates, and short periods of dry, however. Fuchsia excorticata is commonly included in woodland and native gardens, planted to attract birds, and is a must for any revegetation planting. In warm climates in often remains evergreen.
