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 summer as it reaches 1.2 m tall and 1 m wide. 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.
