Kahikatea

Kahikatea is New Zealand's tallest native tree, a towering podocarp that can lift its crown more than fifty metres above the forest. Straight and stately, it rises from wet ground, ruling the ancient swamp forests it calls home.

Read more

Kahikatea (Dacrycarpus dacrydioides), also called white pine, is an ancient conifer and the tallest of all New Zealand's native trees, reaching around sixty metres over centuries of slow growth. It thrives in fertile, poorly drained lowland and swamp forest, where groups of trees interlock their roots to stand firm in soft, wet soil. In late summer it bears small fleshy fruit called koroī, a bright red stalk carrying a black seed, which were a treasured seasonal food gathered in great quantity and eagerly eaten by native birds. Its pale, even timber later became prized for making canoes and butter boxes because it carried no taint. Once these giants filled the wetlands from north to south; the remaining stands are living remnants of a far older forest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Explore Help Center
What is a stock flower essence?

A stock essence is the concentrated form of a single flower essence. It can be taken directly from the bottle or used to create a personalised blend.

First Light® stock essences are available as individual New Zealand native flower essences and combination essences, so you can choose and combine the essences to support how you are feeling or what you need help with.

How do I choose the right flower essence for me?

Start with how you are feeling and what you would most like support with right now.

You can explore keywords and information on each flower essence page, use the repertory to browse essences by feeling or need, or use the Constitutional Essence for a sense of inner balance and alignment.

If you would like a personal recommendation you can send us a message or book in for a no obligation free consultation.

How many essences can I combine?

Up to eight essences from No 1 to No 184 can be combined in a single personalised blend. No 0 Black Orchid can be added to any blend as a ninth essence.

This allows you to select a combination of essences to support the different emotional, energetic or personal growth needs.

Do flower essences contain alcohol?

Yes, generally flower essences contain a small amount of brandy, ethanol or grape as a natural preservative. To reduce the alcohol taste, add your drops to water.

How long does it take to notice a difference with flower essences?

It depends on the essence and the person. With an essence like Crisis Support for emergency or emotional first aid situations some people notice a difference within 15 to 20 minutes. Most people feel a shift within a few days. In general it takes about one month for changes to occur, and another month to integrate them.
