Dacridium cypress

Dacridium cypress – otherwise called red pine. It is one of the endemics of New Zealand, an evergreen, coniferous, dioecious tree. The plant lives in a fairly limited area, it is this characteristic that is called endemism. The habitats of Dacridium cypress are limited by climatic, biotic, and geological barriers. New Zealand is located on two islands, the North and the South, which are located in the Pacific Ocean. For a long time, the flora and fauna of the islands developed in isolation from other parts of the land with similar climatic conditions. For this reason, the territory of New Zealand is rich in endemic plant species, including Dacridium cypress. This conifer grows in mountainous and lowland forests, less often in subalpine wastelands.

Dacridium cypress reaches a height of thirty-six meters, the diameter of the trunk ranges from half a meter to one and a half, sometimes reaching two and a half meters. The fruits are edible, have long been used for food by the local Maori people, and serve as a source of sugars and resins.

Dacridium wood is pale yellow in color, gradually darkening during the transition from sapwood to the core. On a cut of a freshly cut tree, you can clearly see the core, which has a pale, brownish-straw color, with gray or brown stripes and flecks. Under the influence of the environment, the core acquires a light brown hue. The texture of the wood is dense, fine and even, the fibers are arranged straight. In terms of strength, dacridium cypress can be compared with common pine.

When drying wood, there is a slight cracking of the side surfaces.

Due to its technological properties, dacridium wood has found wide application in industry. It lends itself well to machine and manual processing, and is planed to form a clean and smooth surface. It can be painted and polished. Furniture, cladding materials and floors are made from this rock, it holds screws well and does not crack when hammering nails. Decorative veneer, plywood and panels are also made from dacridium.
