#24 - Kahikatea trees grafted together

Jan 2014 Challenge - Trees

Dacrycarpus dacrydioides or kahikatea (Māori ) is a coniferous tree endemic to New Zealand.
What is interesting about this photo is that two Kahikatea trees have grafted together.
The most conspicuous tree in Smith’s Bush is the feathery grey-green Kahikatea
This is the tallest of the New Zealand forest trees, attaining physical heights of up to 60m.

Canon EOS 60D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/50s f/5.0 at 24.0mm iso200 full exif

An unusual sight. It looks like they are "friends". Voted.
