The Rimu Track in Pureora Forest Park loops through both pristine and recovering native forest on the eastern flanks of Mt Pureora. As hinted by the track's name, rimu is the dominant tree emerging through the canopy. Near the northen entrance of the loop track, a grove of stunning trees reach 50 m and more. The tree in this entry was measured at 53.1 m tall. Other trees nearby may be even taller, but ground based measurement is problematic due to the heavy undergrowth. The tallest known rimu is a 53.6 m tree, measured by Bob Van Pelt on a hunter's track elsewhere in Pureora Forest Park (Smillie, 2014).
