DESCRIPTION

Podocarpus totara, or totara is a slow growing conifer native to Aotearoa.

In its early stages, the tōtara is bushy, but older trees become more open.

Tōtara can grow 25-30 metres in height and have a straight trunk with evergreen foliage. It has needle-like leaves that spiral along the branches and produces small flowers with fruit.
