The tallest recorded giant redwood in NZ (NZNTT, 2019).
Henry Hoare, a former owner of Raincliff Station, from 1903 to 1920 was a great tree admirer. He carried out the extensive plantings for which Raincliff homestead is well known for. He was responsible for instigating the preservation of the native bush in Pioneer Park further up the valley and for the grand conifers in Raincliff Forest. |
