Native Plants For Small Gardens Nz
Melicope ternata
Melicope ternata, commonly known as Wharangi, this is a small, NZ native tree grown for its lovely foliage. This evergreen bears glossy, lime-green leaves which release a pleasant scent when crushed. Clusters of small and scented, cream-coloured flowers are borne in summer and result in black fruits as it grows to 5 m tall and 3 m wide. Melicope ternata is perfect for brightening up a garden and attracting birds. It is often used to provide shelter and screening, planted as a backdrop for smaller plants, included in revegetation projects, or simply included in a mixed planting.
