Miro

Miro is a graceful, slow-growing native conifer that develops into a tall, elegant forest tree over time. With soft, dark green foliage and a naturally pyramidal form when young, it brings structure and depth to native plantings.

In autumn, female trees produce distinctive red, plum-like fruit that are highly valued by native birds, making miro an excellent choice for biodiversity-focused gardens and restoration projects.

Miro prefers well-drained soils and thrives in full sun to part shade. While slower growing than some natives, it is long-lived and rewards patience with strong habitat value and classic New Zealand forest character.

Best for: Native forest restoration, bird habitat, long-term planting
Height: Up to 20m+ (over time)
Position: Sun to part shade
Soil: Well-drained soils

A beautiful, enduring native tree that supports wildlife and strengthens forest ecosystems for generations.
