+"A kauri that shouldn't be" was surreptitiously planted in the early 1950's amongst magnolias and camellias
by Fred Barwell, a native plant enthusiast on J. W. Goodwin's staff. It was not on J.W.G’s planting plan! It is
located 12 m from the base of the steps leading up to the racecourse walk in the right-hand lobe of the upper
Stainton Dell. Alternatively, 19 m from the top of the steps leading down from the racecourse walk. A
vigorous specimen with foliage to ground level.
