The yellow flowered M. macropus appear to be very slow growers compared to other native Metrosideros spp., with Metrosideros rugosa being the slowest. But, of course, genetics, propagating techniques and growing factors should also be taken in consideration too.hia are sensitive to root disturbance. Growing them in peat pots with extra drainage holes seems to lessen the shock during the transplanting process. The peat pots break down and become part of the soil.Early Hawaiians used the hard wood was used for kapa beaters, musical instruments, gunwales and interior framework for canoes.
