Meryta denhamii is an evergreen tree endemic to the Pacific island of New Caledonia, where it occurs in dense humid forest.
Rare in cultivation, Meryta denhamii may be grown fairly easily in warm frost-free climates like those of Sydney, Australia, or Florida in the United States. A slightly hardier alternative is the New Zealand Puka tree, Meryta sinclairii, which has wider leaves and can withstand frosts down to −2 °C (28 °F) once established.
