Halocarpus biformis
Also called Pink Pine, Yellow Pine
Halocarpus biformis, the pink or yellow pine, is a small New Zealand conifer that usually grows as a low, spreading bush in open, damp, often montane sites. It is seldom grown as a garden or houseplant, so care advice is general and it suits cool, moist, lightly shaded conditions.
Halocarpus biformis, the yellow pine or pink pine, is a species of dioecious coniferous tree in the family Podocarpaceae, endemic to New Zealand. It yields a tight-grained, sweet-smelling, and extremely durable wood.
Halocarpus biformis is found at higher elevations in the volcanic plateau of the North Island and at lower elevations of the South Island and Stewart Island. Usually grows between 600–1,370 m (1,970–4,490 ft) above sea level.
