You will need to do the following:

Title: NZ Natives
Examples: 

  • Tane Mahuta is New Zealand's tallest Kauri tree, situated in the Waipoua Forest, in subtropical Northland. It is approximately 45 feet ( 14 metres) in circumference, and 169 feet ( 52 metres) tall. Kauri ( pronounced "Kah-oo-ree") is a type of pine tree belonging to one of the most ancient families of trees. 
  • Rhopalostylis sapida (Nikau Palm) The Nikau is the only palm species native to mainland New Zealand and it is the world's most southerly growing palm. The Nikau grows up to 15 m tall, with a stout green trunk which bears grey-green leaf scars. Jun 6, 2018.
     
  •  Cordyline australisCordyline australis, commonly known as the cabbage tree, cabbage-palm is a widely branched monocot tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to 20 metres (66 feet) tall with a stout trunk and sword-like leaves, which are clustered at the tips of the branches and can be up to 1 metre (3.3 feet) long.
  •  Rimu   The rimu is the most common native conifer you'll find around New Zealand. It can be found around much of the North Island and the lowland forests of the South Island, especially on the West Coast, where the densest populations can be seen. It's a tall tree that can reach heights of up to 50m (165ft) when fully grown.

The evergreen difference of deciduous:
There are several important differences between deciduous and an evergreen tree. ... Deciduous trees shed their leaves seasonally and evergreen trees keep their foliage throughout the year. Deciduous trees are adapted to tolerate cold and dry weather conditions by shedding their leaves while


Conclusion:

I learn that there are two plants fall into two categories, the evergreen leaves is that very hard to fall down the leaves. The Deciduous is very easy to fall the leaves. Evergreen leaves and Deciduous are the two different leaves.
