Coprosma crassifolia Details

Coprosma crassifolia, commonly known as Mingimingi, is a stiffly branched, NZ native shrub with small, dark green leaves. This wiry looking plant produces pale yellow berries in summer which are great for attracting birds. It is a hardy plant that typically grows to 4 m tall and 2 m wide, performing best in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. Mingimingi is tolerant of frost, cool climates, dry periods, wind, and coastal conditions. Coprosma crassifolia is a great plant to use on dry sites or where other plants have struggled to establish. It can be trimmed into a hedge, used for shelter, included in riparian plantings, or maintained in a container. This divaricating coprosma is a must for native revegetation plantings.
