Rimu grows through out new Zealand with the biggest ones growing up to 150 meters tall. Most of the ones that tall are in the forests near Taupo along side wiahaha and the whirinaki forest. They are now most common in the west coast of the south island.
Maori people used to use the tree for making boats, wood carving and making houses. Nowadays they use the wood for furniture and house making. Maori people even used to extract the gum and use it for chewing gum and starting fires. They also used the leaves to cure a headaches.
I think that Rimu is the best house in the school because it is full of good people that are kind and considerate that always have a good game of dodge ball . Also where more fortunate than all the other houses because we get to use the computers a lot more than they do so their for they call as the geeks.
