We have modelled the plants grown following the book “Waipoua Kauri Forest, by W. R. McGregor 1948”, which helpfully provides a list of trees, shrubs, climbers and ferns.

The most distinctive visual feature of kauri forests in the wild are the vertical lines of the trunks. Within a forest canopy, kauris grow naturally perpendicular to the ground.
