It grows quickly, producing fresh green, oval, serrated leaves.  \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ePukatea can be found throughout the North Island and in the very top of the South Island growing in swampy areas, beside streams and in rich deep soil on forested slopes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe Maori used pukatea for several medicinal purposes, it containing an alkaloid related to morphine although without the side effects of that drug. Because of these analgesic properties the pulped inner bark was used to relieve toothache and a decoction of bark boiled in water was used for ulcers, skin complaints generally and syphilis. Because the timber is very light, pukatea logs were used for river canoes although they easily became waterlogged. It was also used for carving, particularly canoe figureheads\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDesigned in-house by StoneArrow team members.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"StoneArrow Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43799868211263,"sku":"E-PUL","price":99.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/2765\/files\/PukateaLeafEarrings-Green.jpg?v=1789609188","url":"https:\/\/stonearrow.co.nz\/products\/pukatea-leaf-earrings","provider":"StoneArrow Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
