Whether you’re seeking a fast-growing shelterbelt, an attractive native hedge, or a low-maintenance solution for erosion-prone sites, Dodonaea viscosa nz is an outstanding choice. Its tolerance for drought, wind, poor soils, and coastal conditions makes it especially valued in New Zealand landscaping and restoration projects.

Dodonaea viscosa, commonly known as the Green Ake Ake, features lush, bright green leaves which are held densely off upright stems. The foliage is adorned with masses of small, pink flowers in summer as it grows to 4 m tall and 2.5 m wide. Dodonaea viscosa is commonly trimmed into a hedge, grown as an informal hedge, included in mixed or native plantings, used for riparian planting, grown as a screen, or planted as a backdrop for smaller plants.
