Book Recommendation: Pōhutukawa & Rātā by Philip Simpson Pōhutukawa and rātā trees are among New Zealand’s most beloved and recognisable national icons, symbolising summer, nationhood and our unique natural environment. A new book, Pōhutukawa & Rātā: New Zealand's Iron-hearted Trees, celebrates these unique trees — their place in the natural world, their importance to Māori, their role in symbolism, art, and design, their many remarkable uses — and reveals the threat they face today from possums, progress and people. read more / press release For more information, please contact Te Papa Press publicist: Kathryn Carmody, Tel. 04 387 2833, Mob. 027 287 7963, Email.
