Name: Kauri

Scientific: Agathis australis

A.K.A.: Southern Kauri, New Zealand Kauri

This Variation: This is a Low Poly model. A High Poly version is also available.

Notes: The common name is in Māori. It is a coniferous tree in the family Araucariaceae, found north of 38°S in the northern regions of New Zealand's North Island. It is the largest (by volume) but not tallest species of tree in New Zealand. The tree has smooth bark and small narrow leaves. Because it is such a conspicuous species, forest containing kauri is generally known as kauri forest, although kauri need not be the most abundant tree. Kauri even act as a foundation species that modify the soil under their canopy to create unique plant communities. The young plant grows straight upwards and has the form of a narrow cone with branches going out along the length of the trunk. However, as it gains in height, the lowest branches are shed, preventing vines from climbing. By maturity, the top branches form an imposing crown that stands out over all other native trees, dominating the forest canopy.
