The kahikatea is New Zealand's tallest native tree. They can grow up to 65 meters straight up. Kahikatea have shallow root systems. Beneath the ground the roots of a stand form an intertwining mesh that provides support for a tree to grow to great heights. This is how they stand together.
E tu kahikatea
He whakapae ururoa
Awhi mai, awhi atu
Tatau, tatau e
Tatau, tatau e
Stand like the kahikatea
Stand against the storm
Together, united
We will survive
We will survive
