Evergreen Specimen Trees Nz
Agathis australis (Kauri Tree)
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 meters 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.

Alectryon excelsus (Titoki Tree)
Alectryon excelsus, commonly known as Titoki or NZ Oak, is a NZ native, evergreen tree growing to about 8 m tall and 3 m wide. It carries glossy, green foliage which becomes interspersed with sprays of woolly, rust coloured flowers during summer. The spreading habit of Titoki makes it a lovely shade tree and for this reason it is often grown as a specimen or avenue tree. Alectryon excelsus responds well to trimming and makes for an effective screen or large hedge.
