Pohutukawa’s are ever-greens Possums are the main enemy to pohutukawa and the other enemies are cats, rats, rabbits,hares and weasles  Project Crimson started in the 1980’s Touhine point was made a reserve for all the plants They planted 17000 plants at Touhine point and only 4000 pohutukawa They can live in harsh conditions that other plants can’t Pohutukawa and Rata are an endangered species The pohutukawa stops the erosion Pohutukawa's and Rata's are the christmas trees of NZ Project Crimson started to save can you guess.... the pohutukawa!
