Description: A magnificent stand of Kahikatea trees on the Kahikatea Walk, Pohangina Valley. Photographed hand-held; laying on my back. Dacrycarpus dacrydioides or kahikatea (from its name in the Māori language) is a coniferous tree endemic to New Zealand. The tree grows to a height of 55 metres (180 ft) with a trunk exceeding 1 metre (3 ft) in diameter, and is buttressed at the base. It is dominant in lowland forest and wetlands throughout the North and South Islands. Trees can live for at least 600 years. (Wikipedia)
