Tāne Mahuta – Adopt a Tree: Room 9's Nikau Palm

 Kia ora whānau,

Every class in the school has adopted a native tree. Room 9 planted a nikau palm near the back gate, based on the research of the class. Members of the class found out the following information:

  • Nikau palms prefer frost-free locations with plenty of sunlight, but not too much
  • They need to be watered daily
  • Nikau palms are very slow growers – they take nearly 100 years to reach full growth
  • Māori used to use the inner part of nikau palms
