Kaumatua Wayne XXXXX speaks to the manuhuri (visitors) during the powhiri at Te Hiku o te Ika, Ngataki. One of the worlds rarest trees has had a stay of execution after the late Ross Beever worked out a way to encourage the fruiting of a pennantia which only has one tree left in the wild on Manawatāwhi in the Three Kings Islands. The fruit bore seeds whcih have been grown into trees and the taonga have been returned to Ngāti Kuri by Manaaki Whenua. Image for Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research by Brad White.
