We aim to balance our planting sites, just as a real forest naturally is balanced, with groups of smaller shrubs and trees and also large trees that will provide the high canopy presence in the forest. The types of trees that we plant if you pick this category include Mapou, Kanuka, Olearia, Lacebark, Broadleaf, Five Finger, Ngaio, Kowhai, Lemon Wood, Totara, Black Beech, Red Beech, and others. We prefer to select the species that is planted under each category or the forest can become unbalanced and dominated by one or two popular species. But if you have a particuar tree in mind that you want us to plant, please select the relevant species in the options to the right (note there is an extra fee for selecting a specific species).
The large trees for the high canopy of the forest includes species like Totara, Rimu and Beech. To make sure the tree is right for the planting site we will select an appropriate tree species on your behalf. You will be informed of the species once the tree has been planted and recorded.
Small tree species make up the lower canopy trees within the forest and include some beautiful species such as the Cabbage Tree and Kowhai with its stunning flowers. To make sure the plant is right for the planting site, we will select a small tree species on your behalf. You will be informed of the species once your tree has been planted and recorded.
