About The Rimu

Rimu is found only in New Zealand and is a highly sought after decorative timber featuring a rich colour and attractive grain. The Rimu heartwood is very durable, being resistant to rot and insect attack.
Rimu usually grows to a height of 20 – 35 meters (65-115 ft). It is generally 1 – 1.5 meters (3 – 5 ft) in diameter at its base and is easily recognisable by its weeping foliage.
Rimu is sourced from environmentally and sustainably managed forests in both North and South Islands. All available supplies of Rimu in New Zealand are required to be managed to exacting standards under detailed long term Sustainable Management Plans. This guarantees availability of a sustainable supply for future generations.
We only use heart Rimu that is sourced locally from the West Coast of the South Island, that is kiln dried that insures stability of our products.
