Conifers of New Zealand

This is a brief and incomplete guide to the native conifer trees of New Zealand.

When I get time, I'll complete it!

Rimu

Dacrydium cupressinum is a large evergreen coniferous tree endemic to the forests of New Zealand. It was formerly known as "red pine", although this name is misleading since it is not a true pine but a member of the southern conifer group the podocarps. The name "red pine" has fallen out of common use and the Māori name rimu is now used.
