RIMU.
The Rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum), or red pine, the most delightful of all New Zealand trees in its youth, should always be grown where the soil conditions allow. At Rotorua, where there are heavy frosts in winter, it grows well as a young tree in full exposure in the streets. Here the porous pumice soil never dries out. Under other soil conditions, the Rimu will probably require the shelter of other shrubs until well established.
