Tane Mahuta

Tane Mahuta is a giant kauri tree in the Waipoua Forest of Northland Region, New Zealand. The tree's Maori name means "Lord of the Forest", and is the name of a god in the Maori pantheon, is the tallest and most massive kauri known to stand today. It is 51 metres (169 feet) in height, and has a circumference of 13.8 metres (45 feet). There is no proof of the trees age, but it is estimated to be between 1250 and 2500 years old. The tree is a remnant of the ancient subtropical rain forest that once grew on the North Auckland Peninsula. Other giant kauri stand nearby, notably Te Matua Ngahere.
