What is a native New Zealand tree?

Answer:
Kowhai has very beautiful bright yellow flowers.

Pohutukawa is our Christmas tree and has lovely bright red flowers

Rata also has red flowers. Our most well known one is probably Kauri which grows very tall and has very good wood with beautiful markings in it. It makes the most beautiful furniture which is highly prized and quite expensive.
Another native tree is the rimu.
