| Description |
From my archives - I photographed this magnificient rimu tree at the Manawatu Gorge Track some time ago. I love the patterns and textures of it's bark. Rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum) is the commonest and most widely distributed native conifer in New Zealand, growing from Northland down to Stewart Island. It is a tall tree, and its crown usually emerges above the main canopy of forest trees. On well-drained fertile sites, it grows to 50 metres in height. Rimu was the principal native tree milled following European settlement. Peak production occurred just after the Second World War, to meet the great demand for new houses. The reddish-brown timber was used for framing, weatherboards, flooring, doors and panelling. Today, recycled rimu is popular for furniture.
