Phyllocladus trichomanoides
Also called Celery Pine, Mountain Toatoa
Phyllocladus trichomanoides, the tānekaha or celery pine, is a species of coniferous tree endemic to New Zealand.
In the North Island, this species is found in lowland forests from Te Paki to 40°S. In the South Island, this species is found in northern Marlborough and Nelson to 41°30'S.
Like the kauri, tānekaha shed their lower branches, producing smooth straight trunks and knot-free timber which is sought after for its strength.
