Summary

| Description |
Nikau is the only native palm in NZ and is the southern-most palm in the world. The nīkau sprouts large clusters of mauve flowers (initially encased in a boat-shaped sheath) that burst from the base of the lowest branch. The flowers are sticky and sweet with nectar, which attracts insects, especially bees. While insects are probably the main pollinators, birds such as tui, bellbirds and silvereyes also enjoy the nīkau nectar. Flowers occur throughout the entire year. The bright red nīkau fruits take about one year to ripen and are an important food source for native birds, particularly the wood pigeon/kererū and kākā.
