Homework task; Write some facts about a Rimu tree.

The Rimu tree aka Dacrydium cupressinum. This tree can grow up to 35-50 meters they are found in really tall forests in groups of them much like a heard they are found all over New Zealand, but really there habitat is lowland to montane forest. The Rimu tree comes from the podocarpaceae family, podocarpus (one of the species that form the podocarpus forestes in NZ, others include the Kahitatea and the Totara) . The female and male tree of Rimus are much different the Female plant bears the flowers and fruit. The Rimu only flowers and fruits onces every five to seven years the fruits take a year or more to mature and are ripe from about February and May.

The tree is in a pirymid shape and when young is like a brown green and as it forms into an adult tree it becomes greener. It can grow from a fresh seed. When planting stake the tree to ensure the singel dominant leader is looked after and much well to prevent the plant from dying and not coping in summer. The Maoris have much belief that rimus should always be planted in groups of 3 or more.
