    This very large old tree, estimated to be approximately 600

    This very large old tree, estimated to be approximately 600 years old is the last remaining pre-European Pōhutukawa on the Mt Maunganui ‘sand bar’ and has local Ngäi Te Rangi Iwi significance. It has been reported that in the early days of settlement, several skeletons of pre-European origin were located at the tree's base in a kneeling ceremonial position. Māori leader Kihi Ngatai (Ngai Te Rangi) was quoted in the Bay of Plenty Times that during Cyclone Bola several of the branches broke off and that local Māori would not allow council to cut the tree, as the deceased were once hung from the branches until they decomposed. Their bones were then buried underneath it.
