Kahikatea Dacrycarpus dacrydioides

This tree is endemic to New Zealand, and also the tallest native tree in New Zealand. The tallest individual is 55 metres tall. Before extensive logging, the tallest was 60 metres tall. The leaves are spirally arranged. It used to be more commonly named white pine( very unaccurrate as it is a podocarp, not a pine), but Kahikatea is more commonly used now. Kahikatea is a Maori name.
