The foliage becomes adorned with small white flowers in spring which result in orange berries in summer as it grows to 6 m tall and 3 m wide. Coprosma australis is ideal for riparian and revegetation planting, including in a mixed planting, using in woodland gardens, planting around stream and pond areas, or simply growing to attract birds.
