Tuateawa Plant Spot: Titoki.



Titoki fruiting heads are just about the brightest thing to be found in Tuateawa at this time of the year. However there is a need to delve into the plant to find them . As a dramatic alternative to daffodils they are well worth houseroom. There are quite a few titoki plants in Tuateawa but even more are found in urban situations. It is a well formed shiny leaved evergreen tree ideally suited to our avenues parks and small gardens. The scented oil in the seeds has been used as a hair dressing. The scent is hardly noticeable. Similarly the juicy looking fruity bit appears much tastier than it is in reality!
