Agathis australis (New Zealand Kauri)

5 from 1 customers

New Zealand Kauri, Kauri Pine, Southern Kauri

Agathis australis, commonly known as the Kauri tree, is a revered New Zealand native conifer renowned for its immense size and longevity. Reaching heights of up to 50 metres with a trunk girth exceeding 16 metres, Kauri trees can live for over 2,000 years, making them one of the world's largest and longest-living tree species. Young Kauri trees exhibit a narrow, upright growth habit, with lime-green leaves that mature to a bronze hue. As they age, the crown broadens, creating a stately presence in the landscape. Kauri trees thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer well-drained, fertile soils. While they can tolerate heavy soils and moderate frost once established, young trees require protection from frost and wind during their initial growth phase. Due to their impressive stature and cultural significance, Kauri trees are ideal as specimen trees in large gardens, parks, and native revegetation projects.
