Form from the Mangitangi dam in the Hunua Ranges. Very fine light green leaves, small star-like yellow flowers in summer, followed by yellow fruit. Good for clipped hedging.

NZ white pine. Narrowly conical for many years, evergreen. Will tolerate very wet sites and grow in drier sites with good grass control. Tolerates shade but does best with blue sky above. Shade the trunk with shrubs to prevent sun scorch. Long lived.

Miniature flax-like foliage and slender fruiting stalks with bright blue berries. Full sun or light shade. Tolerates low fertility clay soils.

Broadly spreading, evergreen. Purple to bronze foliage with red winged fruits in Jan/Feb. Tough shelter shrub for exposed and coastal conditions. Too frost tender for inland South Island areas.
