Griselinia littoralis | broadleaf, kāpuka, papauma
This popular species is incredibly versatile, excelling as both a dense hedging shrub and, when left untrimmed, a striking round-headed tree reaching up to 10 meters in sheltered areas. Its glossy green leaves and thick growth provide excellent shelter and visual appeal in any garden. Hardy and tolerant of drought and coastal conditions, it's a reliable choice for gardens.
