- Growth data, correspondence and reports. Relates to 0.6 acre planting trial, part of 6.8 ha open planting, originally farmland, planted into dense paspalum on Te Kie sandy loan. Termed a 'good site' for first open planting of kauri by NZFS from 1955. Growth and fertiliser trial reports.

- Raetea SF 2, Victoria Valley, by main north highway to Kaitaia
- Future Work
- Growth plot and plantation to be retained indefinitely. First open planting by NZFS on previous farmland in valley. Latest study has been on nutrient levels in kauri foliage.
- Reference
- 10/2/1/6, 31/0/1, 31/2/2. Internal report by G Oliver
- General Note
- Conclusions of Oliver's report (No.20): trees with better growth showed higher concentrations of N, K and Cu. Growth on this site may be limited by nutrient supply (growth of plantation variable with site). Folder has diary notes of Oliver's visit to Northland Kauri Forest, 1980 (FS 10/5/1)
