Rimu

Scientific Name: Dacrydium Cupressinum

Where do u find it?

The Rimu tree grows only throughout New Zealand from the South Island to the North Island making it one of New Zealand’s native trees

Why is it important to Maori?

Because it had many, many uses such as:

• The leaves were used to heal sores

• The gum of the young tree was used to stop bleeding

• The pulped bark was combined with water and hot stones and was dabbed on running sores

• The inner bark was beaten to a pulp and but on burns

• The heartwood was split into slivers and tied in bundles for torches

• The juicy red cup that holds the seed was eaten by maori

Other uses:

• Used to build houses

• Used for pottery

Why is Rimu the best tree in the school?
Because it has many uses and and we have many strengths, it is a strong wood and we are a strong house
