Indoor/outdoor use
Cauri Pine
(agathis australis)
Common name
Cauri
Sometimes spelt with a K – Kauri
Description
The Kauri is a fantastic specimen for indoors though its true origins are from the rain forests of New Zealand where it grows to an immense height and girth. Its timbers then used for fine furniture manufacture and interior fit outs. It is disease resistant and has adapted well to indoor use.
Similar to the grown habit of a Ficus it has small, dark foliage that has a bronze tinge when new, it also produces a light white coating on the foliage which acts as natural sun screen. It can on occasion look like the plant is dusty.
