[[New Zealand]]'s long geological isolation means that most of [[Flora of New Zealand|its flora]] is unique, with many durable [[hard wood]]s. There is a wide variety of native [[tree]]s, adapted to all the various micro-[[climate]]s in New Zealand. The native bush ([[forest]]) ranges from the [[subtropical]] [[Agathis australis|kauri]] forests of the northern [[North Island]], [[temperate]] [[rainforest]]s of the [[West Coast, New Zealand|West Coast]], the alpine forests of the [[Southern Alps]] and [[Fiordland]] to the coastal forests of the [[Abel Tasman National Park]] and [[the Catlins]].

In the early period of British colonisation, many New Zealand trees were known by names derived from the names of unrelated European trees, but more recently the trend has been to adopt the native [[Māori language]] names into English. For a listing in order of Māori name, with species names for most, see the ''Flora of New Zealand'' list of [http://floraseries.landcareresearch.co.nz/pages/VernacularNames.aspx?id=_1bb68297-d16c-444d-a8ab-f35bc25ba606&fileName=Flora%201.xml vernacular names].

The [[New Zealand Plant Conservation Network]] has published a list of New Zealand indigenous vascular plants including all 574 native trees and shrubs.<ref>NZPCN (2006). ''New Zealand indigenous vascular plant checklist''. {{ISBN|0-473-11306-6}}. Written by Peter de Lange, John W.D. Sawyer and J.R. Rolfe.</ref> This list also identifies which trees are [[endemism|endemic]] to New Zealand and which are threatened with extinction.
