The Māori name putaputawētā refers to the fact weta often make the tree their home.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/shrubs-and-small-trees-of-the-forest/2 )〕 == Cultivation == Marbleleaf adapts well to garden use and is widely cultivated in New Zealand. It remains a compact, rounded shrub for several years before finally developing its adult tree-like form. Marbleleaf may be trimmed to keep it compact and bushy. Well grown plants will flower heavily. As far as can be ascertained there are no commercially distributed ''Carpodetus serratus'' cultivars. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carpodetus serratus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
