Hello I am Jennae, age 11 or a year 7 girl at Karoro School. I have heard stories about this humongous
tree here living in New Zealand. I would actually like to go and visit the Tāne Mahuta tree one day.
It would be awesome to actually see the tallest tree right here in NZ and to find more about it.
If I could stand next to this tree 51.2 meter high and the 13 meter wide tree it would be so cool.
I would like to see it before the tree dies from getting a disease called the fatal dieback disease
and dies within a year.

Hi Jennae
ReplyDeleteMy name is Allie and I am the cluster manager for the SLJ here in Toki Pounamu.
Tane Mahuta is a really magnificent tree. I am lucky enough to have seen him. I will say that you would be amazed at just how big this tree is. Not only is it very tall but also very wide. I would like to know how many people it would take if they all joined hands and went around the trunk of the tree. I think it would take about 30 people.
like you I also hope that the disease does not get to this tree, It would be a real shame if it does. I hope that they are able to stop it before it gets there. It is great that people are obeying the rules and washing their shoes when they enter and when they leave the park.
Keep up the great work Jennae, I hope you are having a great holiday.
Until next time
Allie :)
