This, the largest of 4 other Japanese cedars is now one of the few remaining signs of the early European settlement of Bark Bay.
Following the death of his wife in the UK Timothy Huffam decided to emigrate to New Zealand along with his four sons Timotheus, Frederick, Richard and Gerard. They arrived in Nelson on the ship HMS Galatea in April 1869 and shortly afterwards moved to Bark Bay making it their home until 1890. Thomas Huffam is also credited with the introduction of the grape vine growing at Hadfield's Clearing , see tree record TSR/1550 (Cadwallader, B., 2019).
