What’s the difference between a human and a tree? A tree will never leave you. Take our quiz to find your dream native.
Valentines come and go, but a tree lasts forever – or at least several decades. If you’re tired of barking up the wrong tree when it comes to romance, it might be time to think more literally. The woods are full of strong and silent types, healers for your broken heart, and even a couple of studs that just can’t keep the birds away.
Delete your dating apps and get your watering can out, because we’re about to help you nurture a lifelong timber soulmate. Will it be the playboy pūriri tree, the healing mānuka, the family-oriented pōhutukawa, or another one of our ready and willing native trees? Trees That Count, a charity that aims to see more than 200 million native trees planted in New Zealand, is keeping our forests lush with options – and making it easy to gift native trees to your own special (human) someone.
The quiz below will take just a few minutes, but by its end you could be looking at the rest of your life.
