Plagianthus regius, commonly known as ribbonwood, is the largest of our deciduous trees growing 5 -10m. It is found in localised areas of lowland forest throughout New Zealand. The tree has a divaricating juvenile form with bright green rounded and toothed leaves. The adult becomes a straight trunked tree with larger elongated leaves. The juvenile form may persist at lower levels and can be pruned off if required.
