REAL Summer Learning Journey Day 2 - Activity 1 - Post 4 - Tāne Mahuta, The Tree

Tāne Mahuta, The Tree

The Tāne Mahuta tree or also known as "Agathis Australis" is the biggest tree in New Zealand. Agathis Australis is the scientific name of the tree. This huge tree has an unknown age meaning that human don't know the age of the tree. However, humans have estimated that this rather large tree is around 1,250 to 2,500 thousand years! Now that's old! The MAIN reason I'd like to visit this fabulous tree is as followed -

1. It stands more than 51 meters tall. ( I've never seen a tree that tall.)
2. The perimeter is around 13 meters. (Also never seen a tree that wide.)
3. The species of Tāne Mahuta, the Kauri Trees, are the biggest trees in New Zealand. ( I like big trees because they're amazing to look at.)

    Talofa Patrick,

    Ka pai, you have given a clear view point and set of reasons why you would want to visit Tāne Mahuta. I like that you made a list to share your reasons, it is clear and easy to read this way, ka mau te wehi! I think it's awesome you posted some information about Kauri trees, such as their scientific name, go you!

    Perhaps next time you could give a little more background about our mighty Kauri trees, such as threats to their livelihood. Kauri Dieback is a disease that harms our beautiful Kauri. Did you know about this disease? If not, I suggest researching it if you are really keen on visiting Tāne Mahuta or any Kauri trees in person.

    One day I would like to visit Tāne Mahuta so I can see the gigantic and mighty tree up close. It has grown to be so tall and magnificent. I’d love to see it in person because a picture simply wouldn’t do its beauty and scale much justice.

    Keep up the great work Patrick, you are working very hard to create high quality blog posts.

    Toe feiloa'i fo'i,

    Cia.
