A large Kauri tree.

Kauri Tree

The Kauri tree (Agathis australis) is one of New Zealand’s most iconic and ancient native trees. Renowned for its immense size, straight trunk, and longevity, it can live for over 1,000 years. Mature trees develop massive girths and broad canopies, making them a majestic feature in forests. Kauri prefer well-drained soils and warm climates, and while slow-growing, they are incredibly resilient. These trees are culturally significant to Māori and play a vital role in native ecosystems.
