Cabbage trees are suffering from some sort of blight and have been dying from Northland downwards.

It hasn't reached Otago yet and I still have several fine specimens in my garden. Here's a photo of the tī kōuka at my back door, taken just now.

Another old photo I've tried to revitalise. Not really happy with this one. Combination of the base composition and lighting makes this less than satifying.

Playing with it in lightroom is a good exercise in limits.
