Phyllocladus trichomanoides | tānekaha, celery pine
A handsome, upright, evergreen native tree with a symmetrical form, making it an ideal ornamental specimen for suburban gardens where height is desired without excessive width. It features interesting celery-like green foliage and mottled to light grey smooth bark. While best suited to semi-shade in soil that doesn't dry out rapidly, it can also thrive in poorer soils and prefers shelter.
