Napoleon's Trees that linked England to New Zealand willows
A 19th century tale credits John Tinline with bringing slips of Napoleon’s willow from England to New Zealand. The trees flourished from Nelson to Canterbury, with many saplings used to stabilize riverbanks. The Avon at Christchurch and the Yarra at Melbourne feature these willows, possibly the entire New Zealand stock. The note ends praising acclimatization over failed introductions.
