Muti uyu unozivikanwawo nokuda kwekukakavara kwawo kunoshamisa; Zvikamu zvakasiyana zvemuti mumwechete zvinogona kuitika panguva dzakasiyana.
Mumakore achangobva kupfuura, pohutukawa yave iri pangozi kubva kune zvikara, kunyanya possum. Iyi mhuka yeusiku yakatangwa kubva kuAustralia muzana remakore rechigumi nemapfumbamwe uye yakakonzera kuparadza kukuru kumahlathi eNew Zealand.

Chirume Chikuru Pasihutukawa Pasi
PaT Araroa kumhenderekedzo yekumaodzanyemba kweNorth Island, kunopfuura makiromita 170 kubva Gisborne, inokosha kwazvo pohutukawa. Iyo ndiyo inonzi yakawanda kwazvo inonzi pohutukawa muti munyika. Iyo inomira kupfuura mamita makumi maviri mamita uye pane imwe nzvimbo yakakura pane mamita makumi mana pakureba. Muti unonzi "Te-Waha-O-Rerekohu" nemunharaunda yeMaori uye inofungidzirwa kuva nemakore anopfuura 350. Zita rinobva kune zita remutungamiriri wemunharaunda, Rerekohu, aigara munzvimbo ino.
Iyi pohutukawa inomira munzvimbo dzechikoro cheko, pedyo nemhenderekedzo yegungwa reguta racho. Inonyatsooneka kubva mumugwagwa uye i "inofanira kuona" pachitenderecho chakakomberedza East East kubva Opotiki kusvika Gisborne . Icho hachisiwo kure neEast Cape kutarisa uye chiedza, iyo inogara kumahombekombe akawanda muNew Zealand.
Zvichida miti inonzi pohutukawa inonyanya kuzivikanwa muNew Zealand iri kumucheto kwechekuchamhembe kwenyika, Cape Reinga . Iyi nzvimbo inokosha yekunamata kuvanhu veMaori.

Kwose kupi zvako kwaunoenda kumusoro kweNorth Island, pohutukawa inowanikwa uye inoparadzaniswa neNew Zealand gungwa. Uye kana uri pano pedo neKrisimasi uchaona maruva ayo akanaka.
