KIA ORA! I am new to farming after 12 years in the building industry. Thank you for the inspiration to start my own RUclips channel!

My father planted many trees on his father's property about 100 years ago.

I hear there are forrests in Asia that have a 400 year cycle. Nice to see someone planning trees for the long haul

Nice video thanks.

What is kauri botanical name sir?

[@MrNimtiz]

I think its kinda sad to plant these beautiful trees for harvesting

[@newzealandfarmforestryasso4574]

Yes, but given the time frame it’s for the future generations to make harvesting decisions. In the meantime they are there to be enjoyed.

Maybe gift it to nz, that would be more nobel and get you good karma

Only humans can do stuff to benefit the future generations. Usually other animals care only about themselves or their families. You just inspired me to do a similar thing my friend
