Agathis australis, 'Kauri' (Juvenile form)
Kauri, one of New Zealand's tallest trees, are a symbol to all New Zealanders and the forest giants in forest remnants are national treasures. Naturally occurring only in the northern areas of New Zealand, from the Bay of Plenty upwards, it will grow in cooler climates if given protection when young.
A very slow growing tree, it can be grown in most gardens - the pyramidal juvenile form shown above will last for a mere 50 years. The leaves are narrow and tough, with new foliage often being a bronze colour. Cultivation A rich moist soil and protection from strong winds. Frost tender especially when young.
