ConifersNew Zealand's famous kauri (Agathis Australis), which grows along the banks of the Awana River and on the slopes of Mt Hobson (Mt Hirakimata), is the catchment's largest conifer. The Mt Hobson Kauri trees were some of the few spared from logging during the early 1900s which almost wiped out the species on Great Barrier. Seeds from the surviving trees have blown right across the island and now new stands of Kauri are appearing. Other conifers growing in the Awana valley include Rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), Kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydiodes), Totara (Podocarpus totara), Matai (Prumnopitys taxiflora) and Miro (Prumnopitus ferruginea). |
