Trees can grow upto 30 - 60 m in height and now NZ controls the harvesting of Kauri. It has moderate dentisty with a dry weight of 540 kg/m3, crushing strength of 6,130 lbf/in2 (42.3 MPa). It had very good Rot/Decay resistance. Kauri is expensive.Kauri trees date from the last Ice age or even before and the fossilised Kauri Resin is mined as well.<a href="https://imgbox.com/4Z1OBTvW" target="_blank"><img src="https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/56/f8/4Z1OBTvW_t.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>The above is the giant swamp kauri uncovered at Ngāwhā in 2019.  The massive tree - with a trunk spanning more than two and a half metres - was alive during the event, which is known as the Laschamps geomagnetic excursion.The analysis of the tree confirms that the event was around 42,000 years ago and in contrast with the traditional belief (that the revesals does not cause any major changes) - this is not exactly so as the weakened geomagnetic field causes rapid production of atmospheric radiocarbon. This tree provided the detailed record of radiocarbon levels across the Laschamps Excursion.  These show that it precisely aligns Pacific Basin environmental changes with polar paleoclimate records.</blockquote>
