kanono

Coprosma grandifolia | kanono, manono, large-leaved coprosma, raurekau

A striking native shrub recognised for its large, wavy, olive-green leaves, often mottled. Small white spring flowers develop into bright orange to red berries on prominent stalks, providing valuable food for birds through summer and early winter.

Tolerant of varying conditions, Kanono grows best in moist, shady sites that remain well drained. Its broad foliage and attractive fruit make it an ideal choice for riparian planting, forest restoration, and wildlife-friendly gardens.
