A hardy variant said to have originated from Motiti Island, it tolerates drought and will succeed on poor, wet, or arid soils, but thrives on quality organic soils with good drainage and plenty of sunlight. It is a coast lover resistant to salt and wind. It blossoms in early summer perhaps a day or two earlier than most red Metrosideros varieties.
