Metrosideros kermadecensis
spoted in oporto city park.i think it's a foreigner plant
" i want to ask a noah ranger and you are the first today,so the question is simple,is correct to assign a spot like this in flowers of europe or in portugal's biodiversity?it's not from here,but now it's "living" here,what the correct thing to do?"
S Frazier,thanks for one more ID,i had been seeing the link you gave me and i think is a Metrosideros kermadecensis,and the Metrosideros in general ,as invasive plant,can be came a pest,so imagine my admiration to see douzens of them planted in oporto city park instad of local plants more adaptated,it's a litle bit crazy people dont know what are doing.another thing i want to ask a noah ranger and you are the first today,so the question is simple,is correct to assign a spot like this in flowers of europe or in portugal's biodiversity?it's not endemic,but now it's "living" here,what the correct thing to do?
