| Dacrydium cupressinum (Red pine). One of New Zealand’s most beautiful and graceful trees attaining a height of 18 – 30m. Rimu is suited to lowland and hilly areas throughout New Zealand including Stewart Island (sea level – 760m). For best growing conditions Rimu prefers rich moist soil. Shelter should be provided while young. Rimu has bronze coloured weeping young foliage, which goes green with age. Maori used to harvest the fruits. The timber was used for a wealth of purposes including building construction, furniture and joinery. Because our trees come in their own planter, there is no rush for the recipient to plant them out immediately. Trees will last in their planters for several weeks - months, providing they are watered and well looked after. Trees Please trees are sourced from leading Auckland nurseries and potted into top quality potting mix. The planters are covered with brown paper, to reduce the chance of spillage in transit. All trees come in their purpose designed outer pine gift box which has an opening for air and light, plus leather carry handle, making it ideal for easy delivery throughout New Zealand. Because we care for our environment, components are recyclable, or come from sustainable or recycled sources. Outer boxes can be reused as a planter box, storage box or to send other gifts in.
