Tāne Mahuta
Situated in the Waipoua Forest in Northland, Tāne Mahuta is the largest kauri tree in the world with a trunk over 13 metres in circumference! In 2018, a kauri tree just 60 metres away from Tāne Mahuta was infected with kauri dieback disease, giving scientists, local iwi and others a further sense of urgency in researching a solution to the disease.
