    Sorry but those Pohutukawa Capsules in the photo you have are Old , Very Dead and Dry and the Golden hair like seeds of which there would be thousands have been released from them for at least two years judging by the age of the capsules in your hand .
    The seeds of a Pohutukawa look like tiny golden hairs and are similar to that of the Manuka and Kanuka . If you Google pohutukawa seed Images you’ll see what I mean .
