The Huon pine is a slow-growing, but long-lived tree; some living specimens of this tree are in excess of 2,000 years old. [6] It grows to 10 to 20 metres (33 to 66 ft) tall, exceptionally reaching 30 m (98 ft), with arching branches and pendulous branchlets.
One of the most iconic tree species associated with the Huon River is the Huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii), an ancient tree species that can live for over 3,000 years. Huon pine is highly valued for its durable, fine-grained timber, which is naturally resistant to rot due to its high oil content.
