Aristotelia serrata (Wineberry, Makomako)

Aristotelia serrata, commonly known as Makomako or Wineberry, is a fast growing, small tree. Delicate, rose-coloured flowers in early spring result in dark red berries in summer which are great for attracting birds. It has serrated, green leaves which may develop a purple hue, and typically grows to 5 m tall and 4 m wide. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It will tolerate cool climates and moderate frost once established, as well as most soil conditions but only short periods of dry. Aristotelia serrata is commonly used as a smaller specimen tree, trimmed into a hedge, or used for screening and shelter. It is a must for NZ native revegetation plantings.
