  I was delighted to find a few flowers on my kowhai tree (Saphora).  The tree lost all its leaves during record low temperatures early June, and lower branches I can reach are obviously dead.  Other New Zealand native evergreens in my garden that have died as a result of that storm are purple akeake (Olearia), Pittosporum tenuifolium, and Coprosma repens.
