Melicope ternata Details

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 which are great for attracting birds. It grows densely with a rounded habit to about 5 m tall and 3 m wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of dry periods, heavy and poor soils, and light frost once established. 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.
