Te Matua Ngahere is said to be over 2000 years old!

The height is recorded at around 100 feet and the girth is just over 52 feet making it the biggest girth of any tree in New Zealand.

This kauri tree attracts about 50,000 visitors every year. To prevent the spread of the kauri dieback disease, tourists are advised to clean their footwear before entering the area and again if they will be visiting another forest site.
