Held from the 11th-17th September, Māori Language week gives us a chance to celebrate our beautiful national language. Maybe you'll be celebrating by watching the Toku Reo videos and using Te Aka (Maōri Dictionary) to improve your knowledge, or maybe you've found a buddy for the week that will only kōrero in te reo with you. Ka pai!

We have not noticed - or perhaps not recognised - an adult dragon tree in the Kaipatiki area, and wonder where the birds are getting these seeds?
Does anyone know of a mature Dracaena draco (dragon tree) in the Glenfield/Birkdale area?
Of course, the parent tree does not need to be close by, as kereru can fly up to 20km and back to feed. From our own observation, kereru droppings usually contain the undigested portion - eg seeds - from a very recent meal. But maybe dragon tree seeds take a while to be excreted.
Regardless of whether these seeds are being brought from the trees we know of in Devonport or East Coast Bays or from suburbs closer to Eskdale Forest, we would be interested to hear if there are any dragon trees growing in this neighbourhood...and if so, whether many seedlings are being found in the gardens around them.
