Rimu homework challenge

Rimu can be found everywhere in the north island and everywhere in the south apart from the mountains. Rimu can also be called Dacrydium cupressinum Rimu is also one of the largest evergreen trees in New Zealand Rimu is also a very good wood to make things out out of it is very popular to be used in making expensive furniture.

Rimu was important to Maori because when it's bark and leaves are boiled it make a lotion for healing wounds.The Rimu tree can grow up to 50 meters and at the top it has weeping branches They can live up to 1000 years Rimu was mostly important to the Moari for it's fruit but when eaten in large quantities it can have a constipation effect but a juice made from Tutu flowers counteracts this.

Rimu is the best tree in the school because it is the most useful and expensive and very easy to find they also grow very tall.And strong they also have many uses and thats why we are the best.
