Does anyone know of a mature Dracaena draco (dragon tree) in the Glenfield\/Birkdale area? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, the parent tree does not need to be close by, as kereru can fly up to 20km and back to feed. From our own observation, kereru droppings usually contain the undigested portion – eg seeds – from a very recent meal. But maybe dragon tree seeds take a while to be excreted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyway we would be interested to hear if there are dragon trees growing in this neighbourhood…and if so, whether many seedlings are being found in the gardens around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more about our chemical-free garden and forest restoration services<\/a>, how we do it,<\/a> and subscribe for emailed post updates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are some fascinating photos and information about their history in Auckland on the Auckland Museum website: https:\/\/www.aucklandmuseum.com\/discover\/collections\/topics\/the-mystery-of-the-dragon-tree We have not noticed – or perhaps not recognised – an adult dragon tree in the Kaipatiki area, and wonder where the birds are getting these seeds?
