Twenty-five years ago, under the direction of Mr. H. A. Goudie, larch and redwood were planted 
together at Whakarewarewa. The hardy deciduous larch nursed the young redwoods through their 
less vigorous period of life. Later, the redwoods dominated the larch, and now are large forest 
trees rapidly advancing towards profitable maturity. Eucalypts are less able to bear shade than 
young redwoods; but the larch could he widely spaced to suit their requirements.
