Metrosideros collina 'Dalese'
A tree from the Pacific Islands. The large rounded leaves are light grey-green with a distinct undulation around the edge. Showy clusters of red-crimson flowers appear sporadically throughout the year. It grows best by the coast in areas that only get very little frost. Very hardy to dry conditions once established.
