Hastings = pohutukawa?

I'm producing some brochures themed around 'Uniquely NZ'.
Cut a long story short - it's just eye candy - do photos of Pohutukawas and Hastings go together OK?

Can't say I have noticed too many pohutukawa in Hastings. Pohutukawa are a coastal tree, Hastings is an inland city.

Ah...no...Hastings+Gangs=Reality. But that's not what you were after, is it?
You'd be better to use orchards/general fruit trees

Not much citrus commercially grown in HB. Mainly pip/stone fruit. And grapes.

Thanks - I need hi res so it has to come from my own library - but I got HB vineyards.

I also have to do something for Papatoetoe, Mt Albert and Lower Hutt.

i was going to use a 'babbling brook' for LH, and a Koru for Papatoetoe?

Mt Albert has me stumped.

I reckon a vista of the hutt valley would be a good pic for lowerhutt...or a few sluts standing next to a pub...lmao!!!!
