Fuchsia excorticata, the New Zealand fuchsia, also known as Kotukutuku is a New Zealand native tree belonging to the family Onagraceae. It is found commonly throughout New Zealand and as far south as the Auckland Islands it grows from sea level up to about 1000m, particularly alongside creeks and rivers. Fuchsia trees are easily recognized in the bush by the characteristic appearance of their bark which peals spontaneously hanging in red papery strips to show a pale trunk underneath. Closely related to the other Fuchsia, it is the largest member of the genus.
