Rimu is the most widespread of all New Zealand forest trees occurring throughout the North South and Stewart Islands from lowland to montane forest. In most places the large rounded heads of a few to a dozen or so trees per acre emerge well above the general level of the canopy of broadleaf trees below. Such forests have little or no regeneration and seldom contain any trees in the intermediate stages. The large trees can be anything up from 700 to 800 or even 1000 years old. The facts of age and structure of such forest have given rise to the theory that the rimu is a relic of past climates which have been more favourable to it. It is certainly not replacing itself.Your NEW ZEALAND SHOP for WOODEN GIFTS and other NEW ZEALAND GIFTS
