Waipoua Forest, Northland Region, New ZealandMore information:
Te Matua Ngahere (Father of the Forest) is a giant kauri (Agathis australis) coniferous tree in the Waipoua Forest of Northland Region, New Zealand. Te Matua Ngahere has a girth just over 16 metres (52 ft). It is believed to be the second largest living kauri tree, and to have the biggest girth of any kauri tree in the country. Te Matua Ngahere is generally considered to be over 1500 years old. Forest conservationists estimate that such trees live for about 4000 years, but the life span of Te Matua Ngahere should be shorten due to the damage from the 2007 storm winds.
