Description
Pseudopanax arboreus, also known as the horoeka or three-fingered jack, is a native New Zealand tree renowned for its distinctive, deeply lobed leaves. The leaves are glossy, dark green, and typically have three prominent finger-like lobes, giving the plant its name. This evergreen species can grow up to 10 meters tall in forests or forest edges, thriving in both coastal and lowland areas. It produces small, greenish flowers that are followed by dark purple berries. Pseudopanax arboreus is valued for its ornamental appeal and its ecological role in providing habitat and food for wildlife.
