Corokia macrocarpa is a rugged and distinctive shrub native to New Zealand’s offshore islands, particularly the Chatham Islands. Known for its twisted, zigzagging branches and leathery, grey-green leaves, this hardy evergreen adds a sculptural quality to gardens and coastal landscapes. In spring, it produces small, yellow star-like flowers, followed by clusters of yellow to orange berries that provide food for native birds. Wind-resistant and tolerant of salt spray, Corokia macrocarpa is well-suited to exposed sites, native plantings, or as a resilient feature shrub. Its unique form and tough nature make it a standout in low-maintenance gardens.
