Small Green Flowers Add Subtle Seasonal Interest

While primarily valued for its foliage, Pseudopanax crassifolius also produces small greenish-yellow flowers in summer. These are followed by dark berries on female plants, which attract native birds such as tūī and kererū. Although the flowers aren’t showy, they add to the plant’s appeal by contributing to biodiversity in your garden.

Lancewood Offers Bold Form and Native Beauty

Known for its dramatic change in form from youth to maturity, Lancewood starts with long, narrow, downward-pointing leaves that deter browsing animals. As the tree matures, it develops a multi-branched, rounded canopy with broader leaves. This sculptural transformation makes it a standout feature in any native or architectural planting design.

Pseudopanax Hybrids Add Variety To Native Landscapes

Lancewood naturally hybridises with other Pseudopanax species, particularly Pseudopanax lessonii (houpara). These hybrids often show a mix of traits—such as leathery, toothed leaflets and branching forms—offering gardeners a diverse range of textures and forms while maintaining the hardiness and appeal of true Pseudopanax varieties.
