Christmas Tree Culture Old and New

Zingela Property Management Ltd

Renowned for its vibrant colour and its ability to survive even perched on rocky, precarious cliffs, the pohutukawa has found an important place in New Zealand culture for its strength and beauty, and is regarded as a chiefly tree (rākau rangatira) by Māori.

The blossom of the tree is called kahika.
The tree flowers from November to January with a peak in early summer (mid to late December), with brilliant crimson flowers covering the tree, hence the nickname New Zealand Christmas tree.
The New Zealand Christmas tree is a coastal evergreen tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae, that produces a brilliant display of red (or occasionally orange, yellow or white) flowers.

The pohutukawa grows up to 25 metres (82 ft) high, with a spreading, dome-like form. It usually grows as a multi-trunked spreading tree. Its trunks and branches are sometimes festooned with matted, fibrous aerial roots. The oblong, leathery leaves are covered in dense white hairs underneath.

In New Zealand, the pohutukawa is under threat from browsing by the introduced common brushtail possum which strips the tree of its leaves.

A charitable conservation trust, Project Crimson, is working towards the reversing of the decline of the pohutukawa.

A landmark to go view is the giant pohutukawa at Te Araroa on the East Coast is reputed to be the largest in the country, with a height of 20 metres and a spread of 38 metres (125 ft).

Tunnel mining changes to 24-hour operation in City Rail Link project

Tunnel mining at City Rail Link’s Mt Eden site is switching to a 24-hour operation from Monday to Friday to maintain momentum on New Zealand's largest transport infrastructure project.

Twenty-four hour work at the tunnel portal site on the corner of Nikau St and Flower St starts on Thursday.

Mining will continue 24 hours Monday-to-Friday but Saturday mining hours are restricted to 7am-7pm.

Work will cease on Sundays and public holidays.

Link Alliance Project Director, Francois Dudouit, said measures are in place to reduce the impact the increased hours may have on the project’s residential and business neighbours.

Mining noise and vibration will be closely monitored by environmental experts, he said.

To mitigate noise, workers will place a curtain at the portal entrance to reduce noise and schedule noisier work to day shifts.

Lights used at night will be angled down directly onto the work site.

Dudouit said the increased hours are temporary and are necessary to complete a 51 metre-long entrance to the tunnel over the next four months.

The Link Alliance is building a cavern and trench which the TBM will use to start its journey underground into central Auckland.

The trench will later become the railway line connecting the City Rail Link with the Western Line at the redeveloped Mt Eden station.

Are you concerned about the temporary increase in work hours at the site?

Are you in favour of the City Rail Link project?
