It is the 15th largest kauri on the peninsula.<ref>{{cite web | publisher = Department of Conservation | url = http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/tracks-and-walks/coromandel/coromandel/square-kauri-tree/ | title = Square Kauri Tree | accessdate = 2013-03-02 }}</ref>
The Square Kauri is a popular stop along the "[[Tapu, New Zealand|Tapu]]-[[Coroglen]] Road", as it is only a short walk from the road. Its unusual square-looking [[Trunk (botany)|trunk]] spared it from felling when most of the large kauri trees in the area were logged during the late 19th century.
