Square Kauri Tree

Located in Coromandel Forest Park in the Coromandel region

Climb a short track to marvel at an unusual square trunked kauri and enjoy the view across to Maumaupaki on the main Coromandel Range.

See the 15th largest kauri on the Coromandel Peninsula. 

Estimated to be 1,200 years old, this tree has an unusual square-looking trunk.

The walking track to the tree is short but steep with 187 steps.

From the viewing area you get good views across to Maumaupaki (Camels Back) on the main Coromandel Range.

Located 8.5km from Tapu and 2.5km west of the Tapu-Coroglen Road.
