Tree of the Month
We have received notification of a truly outstanding puriri tree (pictured, image credit: Thilo Beeker). The tree was submitted from a visitor from Sweden. Whilst some measurements of the tree where not able to be taken, close scrutiny of the image will show just how large this tree is! Further information is being sought on the tree to complete the file.
To view the tree, type 710 into the ‘Jump to a specific record’ search and click Jump.
Thank you to those that have sent in updates and new tree records. For those of you who would like to get in on the action to update tree records or register as a tree recorder simply go to our website and follow the instructions.

Christmas Greetings from the New Zealand Notable Trees Trust (NZNTT)
The NZNTT Database is Open
For those of you that did not attend the New Zealand Arboricultural Association conference in Blenheim last month, the Trustees wish to inform you that the NZNTT database is now open for viewing.
The database is accessible through the NZNTT website at www.notabletrees.org.nz
Here you will find a link to The New Zealand Tree Register on the Tree Register page or you can follow this link register.notabletrees.org.nz/tree/search . You do not need to log in to view the tree files.
The information contained on the database is searchable in various formats i.e. genus, city, region etc. After you have made your initial search, further sorting can be achieved by clicking on the column headers i.e champion tree score. To open a tree file simply click on 'view'.
Much of the existing tree data requires updating. Records shown as unverified requires confirmation the tree still exists or needs to be re-measured. If one of these trees is in your area you can assist the Trust by sending an update via the information submission form which is located at the top of each online tree record.

Tree Register Open for Viewing
The NZNTT is pleased to announce the Database is now accessible. All our current historical tree listings can be found in the New Zealand Tree Register.
Trees can be searched in various ways (City, Region, Species, Champion Tree Scores). As many of the trees require updating, the Trust would be happy to receive any information regarding a listed tree. This could be in the form of new measurements, location details or advice the tree has been removed. Note the verification status of a tree. Verified trees have had their details confirmed and an image attached to the file where one has been sumitted.
