Another very large matai not far from three other matai of note. Provisionally measured by Phil Barker 31/10/19 and officially measured 10.01.21 by P.A. Barker, K. P. Barker & O.H.L Brochner.
This tree is 50 m from a massive rimu (see WCR/1576). The height measurement is a minimum measure. The two trees have huge crowns and have grown together for many centuries. Measured by Phil Barker after viewing satellite images. A third large podocarp, a kahikatea, forms a triangle with this matai and a large rimu. This tree is 43 m + with a 4.4 m girth (Barker P.A. & Barker, K. P., 2019). |
