Inner bark is a purgative decoction.

A very common tree throughout New
Zealand, kāmahi is evergreen that grows up to 25 m in height (rarely higher) with a trunk up to 24 cm (Wardle & MacRae, 1966). The tree has dark green leathery leaves approximately 7.5cm long and 4cm wide. It produces masses of creamy flowers between October and

Kāmahi is durable, hardy, and persistent meaning it will grow in most situations. Kāmahi often starts life as a dense shrub; however, given the space, it can develop into a hulking tree that grows erratically. The white candle-like flowers that bloom in spring open to release fine seeds to be blown

Before the arrival of
Europeans, kāmahi was so valuable to Māori and because of this it was protected by tapu (spiritual restriction, means that kāmahi was almost sacred to Māori). Back when the land was being transformed by Māori and being set up for cultivation, there are legends that say Māori

Kāmahi prefers well drained sites and tolerates infertile soil reasonably well. It is found on hillslopes, roadside cuttings and can even start out life perched on the trunks of tree ferns. It has medium water requirements, preferring the soil to become dry between waterings. Kāmahi enjoys free

introduced species. Kāmahi have not adapted and have very little protection against invaders, however with kāmahi being as a very common tree throughout New
Zealand the possum problem with pest control added on should not pose much of a threat to the species.

Kāmahi’s habitat is coastal to subalpine. It’s very commonly widespread in coastal, lowland and montane forest, often becoming dominant in higher elevation montane forest in the higher areas of the North Island and western South Island.

Kāmahi has benefits in spring when it flowers because bees use its nectar for honey that is becoming more and more popular and well known. Plenty of insects and invertebrates use the trees to feed off and move around. A study in the
