NZ Christmas Tree

New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere.  That means we get hot weather at Christmas time.  This makes the NZ Christmas Tree, the pohutukawa, bloom about a week before Christmas Day.  The tree has dark green foliage and crimson flowers.  Most Kiwis will tell you that when they live overseas, this tree is one of the things they miss about home.  This is a pohutukawa.
