THE STATELY QUEENSLAND KAURI
GENUS AGATHIS ROBUSTA
The Queensland Kauri Pine (Agathis robusta) is native to the Cairns and Maryborough districts and is always described as one of the one of the tallest and most majestic of trees. It is quite similar to another member of its family, the Hoop pine. The species grows as a rainforest plant and is dominant in the dry marginal rainforest areas often seen in eastern Queensland. You will often find these trees are accompanied by Flame trees and Flindersia trees.
This tree is very popular for use in park landscapes and large gardens throughout Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea. The trees are easily identifiable due to their unusually coloured foliage. It is a very hardy species with a robust trunk and spreading crown. It is quite common to see these trees reach up to 50m in height with a diameter and 1.8m. The bark is brown to grey-brown and is slightly flaky.
A hardy, frost tolerant virtually trouble free tree that will reach its true potential when grown on a fertile well drained soil with adequate moisture.
