That’s doubly interesting to me because I’ve noticed in the same locality (track to Rangiwahia Hut) quite a number of large Phyllocladus growing in to tops of Libocedrus trees. They seem too big to be epiphytes and I wonder if the cedars are hollow so the Phyllocladus can send a root down the centre of the trunk to the ground.

Nice catch! Would not find it above the canopy without clue.

It must look fantastic when the tree is mature and adopts a typical horoeka tree shape.

This is a fantastic photo shot.
Should contribute this to our musuem for photography collection.

An eye for the sky! Well Done.
