Slender vine several metres high ascending a juvenile kauri. The kauri has a deep bark wound that looks like vine damage, probably from Japanese honeysuckle or pink jasmine, both of which have current infestations now being thoroughly addressed, and signs of a larger historical infetation of honeysuckle - there is a honeysuckle trunk c.6-8cm Diameter nearer the residence on the property, presumably having been partially controlled in the past as there is little honeysuckle now. The jasmine however is a current infestation which has smothered and strangled a large number of trees along about 50m of banktop above this observation.

There is at least one very extensive karaeo vine on the gorund, in understorey and in numerous tall canopy trees within about 70m.

In centre foreground, juvenile with deep bark wound, possibly from honeysuckle or pink jasmine no longer present on this tree but prevalent a few metres away. The young vine currently on this tree is karaeo.

repeat observation of magnificent old tree (https://inaturalist.nz/observations/219290329) only about 4m high but most of it is semi-prostrate, and until recently smothered by pink jasmine and honeysuckle.

Diameter near base is about 25cm, see last image

(The alarming appearance of the human fingers is just earth and plant material, due to repeatedly putting on and taking off rubber gloves in muddy conditions)
