Cultural History
|
At Te Araroa on the east coast of the North Island, just over 170km from Gisborne, is a very special pohutukawa. It is the largest known pohutukawa tree in the world. It stands more than 21 meters tall and at its widest point is 40 meters in diameter. The tree is named "Te-Waha-O-Rerekohu" by local Maori and is estimated to be well over 350 years old. The name comes from the name of a local chief, Rerekohu, who lived in this area.
