This native evergreen is fast becoming fashionable for its hedging and bordering appearance. With its dense hardy chocolate bronze foliage, it offers a neutral and maintenance free back drop to many planting plans. It is suitable in almost all New Zealand soils and climatic situations and, once established, it will screen out any unwanted noises and offer very good shelter from strong winds. Grows to a height of 2 metres by 1 metre if desired.
