Tree Information x
| Identifier: | CR/1616 |
|---|---|
| Tree Type: | Single |
| Registered By: | Barker, K. P. & Brochner O.H.L. |
| Registration Category: | Notable tree/s – Local interest |
| General Notes:
|
This ancient tōtara can be found in Dennistoun Bush near Mount Peel. The huge roots spread over the track and the bole of the tree appears as a wall of wood as you approach it. This fine tōtara could well be the second biggest specimen in this bush after CR/1010 but there is another taller 9.0 m + girth tree in a remote part of this forest (Barker, K. P., 2020).
NOTE: this potential muti-stem requires further investigation. |
