Kawakawa, carved in wood. This little leaf has big mana – known for healing, protection, and deep connection to the land. It’s especially close to my heart — kawakawa helped me through some of the hardest health challenges I’ve faced. This piece is my way of honouring that healing and sharing it with others. #kawakawa #nzmade #woodart #wallart #handmade #naturalvibes #healingleaf #mauriora #kiwi #nzplants #plants #woodart #homedecor #gifts #nzart | Urukehu • Jess

How to harvest Kawakawa leaves correctly and respectfully, so the rakau will continue to grow healthy and strong 💚 Did you know that there are child, parent and grandparent leaves and we should ONLY pick grandparent leaves or older? Please share around to get this information out there, too often I see the incorrect leaves picked and that branch lineage is wiped out forever. www.kailashherbs.co.nz | Kailash Herbs

Kawakawa transplanted🌿 . Hopefully this 2 year old Kawakawa bush I've grown from a root cutting does well in its new location. It was looking nutrient deficient in the pot, so I'm counting on the worms, bugs & microbiology in the soil to help restore its vitality 🙏😃 . #tipuora #maarakai #communityofgardeners #rongoa #rongoamaori #medicinalgarden #medicinalplants #kawakawatea #kawakawabalm #kawakawa #maori #aotearoa #tairawhiti #nzgarden #gardeningnz #newzealandlife #nzpure #sustainableliving

Most people walk past kawakawa fruit without a second look. But if you spend time in the bush, you start to notice patterns. You notice when the birds arrive. When the spike softens and shifts colour from green to orange. That’s when it’s ready and delicious. Slow down, watch the forest It’ll show you what’s ready.

Kawakawa fruit are a treat at the moment for a number of species. Mahoenui Giant Wētā are very keen on the juicy ripe fruit. You can see this female positioning the fruit using her palps so she can eat the fruit with her mouth parts. You can also see her breathing in and out through small openings along her abdomen. We've put a better video of this in the comments below. Mahoenui Giant Wētā are breeding frequently within our programme and females are busy laying eggs. Video credit Mat Ronaldson
