Griselinia Maitai Details

Griselinia littoralis Maitai, commonly known as Kapuka or NZ Broadleaf, is a fast-growing, NZ native tree that carries glossy green leaves on red stems. It grows as a round-headed, multi-branched tree with a gnarled trunk to about 10 m tall and 5 m wide. Small, green flowers in spring are followed by green to black fruits which are great for attracting birds. This Broadleaf tree is both wind and coastal tolerant and grows best in either full or partial shade but does require good drainage. Griselinia littoralis Maitai is ideal for mixed plantings, exposed sites, or anywhere an attractive tree is required in a tough environment. It can be contained with trimming and makes for a fantastic hedge. For a Griselinia hedge with Maitai, space the plants 50 cm apart.
