Over the past thousands of years (3,000 to well over 100,000 years), the giant kauri trees have repeatedly toppled due to natural disasters and have been buried under masses of mud in various eras, sometimes in several layers. In the process, nature perfectly preserved the large fallen trees to the exclusion of oxygen. The buried primordial trees (swamp kauri) are one of the greatest treasures preserved to mankind. Kauri wood is the oldest known wood on earth that can be processed for beautiful furniture and tables.
The oldest living kauri tree in New Zealand: The 2000-year-old "Te Matua Ngahere - Father of the Forest" is 29.9 m tall, has a circumference of 16.41 m and 5.22 m in diameter. In the past, kauri trees were much older and larger.
Today, all living kauri trees are protected. During their lifetime, these extraordinary trees grew up to 50 meters high and had a diameter of 4 - 5 meters.
Ice ages in other parts of the world caused entire generations of trees to die. Nowhere else in the world are there so many well-preserved and ancient trees in the ground as in the Northland, in the north of New Zealand's North Island. The ancient kauri trees even play a major role in climate research of past eras.
It is fantastic that the ancient Kauri wood has withstood the forces of nature and still remained as wood, and that I can now make beautiful solid wood tables from it, which can still bring joy to people as heirlooms and precious valuables.
