General Notes:
|
This huge rimu sits beside the rimu walk track in the Otanewainuku forest. It is the fourth large rimu encountered after entering the southern entrance of this track. The forest which is alive with rare bird life is tawa dominated with huge over-mature rimu. Before encountering this tree you pass a large 665 cm girthed double-stemmed rimu which sits on the track. Although it looks larger the next tree shrouded in vines is taller and wider. The trunk divides at 15.4 m (Barker, K. P., 2020).
