Bee in a flowering Pohutukawa tree
December in New Zealand is marked by the flowering of the native Pohutukawa tree. For this reason, it’s also known as the “New Zealand Christmas Tree”. It has also been introduced to many places outside New Zealand (including San Francisco, where it can be seen flowering in June or July). (December 6, 2023.
