Fall in New Zealand

Most of the native trees in New Zealand have leaves but are not deciduous, so they don't turn color in the fall. Across the valley from our house is a hillside covered with trees that I call my "wall of trees" because it's the view from my office and it does indeed look like a wall covered with trees. You can see that a few of the trees in my wall are beginning to turn yellow, but most of them are not. Most of the trees that turn yellow are not native to New Zealand. The two tall feathery trees on the top of the hillside are eucalyptus, which are native to Australia, not New Zealand. The funny looking trees in the foreground that look like yucca plants on long sticks are cabbage trees, which are native to New Zealand and which Maori used for food.
