This New Zealand species produces small greenish flowers in spring followed by bright orange berries in autumn. The bold leaves and strong form make it a prominent feature in landscapes. Karaka grows best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and tolerates coastal conditions and wind. Suitable for many New Zealand gardens in mild climates, it is commonly used as a shelter tree, shade tree and in coastal or native plantings.
