Coprosma grandifolia

Coprosma australis is a NZ native shrub grown for its glossy foliage and colourful berries. It features large and lush, dark green leaves. 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.

The ideal plant spacing is 75 cm apart though you can plant at 50 cm apart if you desire the hedge to establish quicker. Coprosma australis is suitable for both formal and informal hedges. Be sure to trim this fast-growing plant during summer if a formal hedge is required at any height between 1.5-3 m tall.
