This tree looks like cedar. The leaves are thin and opposited. And its green and hhas smooth edge.
miro seed collected in mid 2014 from planted miro tree located in abandoned property in the Red Zone on the corner of Bracken St and Retreat Rd.
I cut one of the seeds open just for fun .. the shell is up to c.2mm thick - and the seed was damaged in the process ... somewhat problematic to manually extract seed!
I have located the tree on the map (it has an existing observation recorded).
An impressive 65cm dbh Matai on a small alluvial flat on Eyre River, Mt Oxford in Black Beech dominated forest. Some other reasonable sized Matai & numerous seedlings present, but this was by far the largest in the immediate area, & was around the limit of it's extent up the valley.
A large, apparently sound tree that somehow was spared from the devastating logging in the early-mid 1900's
Think this is matai, but find it hard to tell between miro sometimes.
