Siamese Kauri, Ancient kauri tree in Thames-Coromandel District, New Zealand
The Siamese Kauri stands in Kauri Grove, approximately 10 kilometers south of Coromandel township, displaying two trunks that merge at their base.
During World War II, the Kauri Grove faced potential logging for the war effort, leading residents to form one of New Zealand's first conservation groups.
The Siamese Kauri grows in one of the remaining mature kauri stands on Coromandel Peninsula, representing significant natural heritage for New Zealand.
Visitors can reach the Siamese Kauri through a 30-minute walking track located approximately 500 meters from the 309 Road.
The tree developed from two separate seedlings that grew closer over centuries until their trunks naturally fused at the base.
