Description
Commonly known as karamu, is a fast-growing, hardy New Zealand native shrub. It features glossy green leaves and produces small, fragrant flowers in spring, followed by vibrant orange berries that attract birds. Thriving in a wide range of conditions, including coastal and lowland areas, karamu is excellent for revegetation projects, shelterbelts, and wildlife gardens. It tolerates wind, salt, and moderate frost, making it a versatile landscaping choice. Preferring full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil, Coprosma robusta is low-maintenance and provides year-round greenery, structure, and ecological benefits to any planting scheme.
