Corokia Pounamu

Corokia Pounamu Details

Corokia Pounamu is a NZ native shrub featuring narrow, olive-green foliage. New foliage has a layer of felt on the underside of the leaves which gives the plant an overall green and grey colouring. Small, yellow flowers are produced in spring and are followed by masses of bright red berries in late summer which are great for attracting birds. This is a fast-growing evergreen that typically reaches 1.2 m tall and 1 m wide. It grows best when positioned in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site, and tolerates wind, frost, cool climates, coastal conditions, and dry periods once established. Corokia Pounamu is commonly trimmed into a hedge, added to a mixed planting, used on challenging sites, planted to border an entrance, or used in native plantings.
