  Rimu
Rimu, dacrydium cypressinum, is a large forest tree native to New Zealand.
Rimu grows throughout New Zealand, on the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island[?], although most trees are now found on the West Coast of the South Island.
Historically, rimu and other native trees such as kauri and totara were the main sources of wood for New Zealand, including furniture and house construction.

Timber from rimu has been the main native timber in use since about 1910 when it began to displace kauri, and, as far as one can see, it is likely to remain indefinitely in this position.
Rimu grows to heights of about 100 ft and occasionally 150 ft, and the trunk is usually about 3 ft, but can be as much as 6–7 ft, in diameter.
Rimu is the most widespread of all New Zealand forest trees, occurring throughout the North, South, and Stewart Islands from lowland to montane forest.

 Dacrydium cupressinum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dacrydium cupressinum (Rimu) is a large evergreen coniferous tree endemic to the forests of New Zealand.
It was named as "red pine" by the European colonists, although this name is misleading since it is not a true pine (rather, it is a member of the southern conifer group the podocarps).
Rimu grows throughout New Zealand, on the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island/Rakiura.
