Pseudopanax arboreus has a rounded shape with an open-habit and spreading framework of slender stems, adding a soft and natural look to the landscape. Pseudopanax arboreus produces large, glossy, handsome leaves that are a beautiful dark green color. In autumn, Pseudopanax arboreus produces decorative bunches of purple-black berries that are known to be relished by birds. This versatile plant is very hardy and can be pruned to any size, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens. In mid-winter to early-spring, Pseudopanax arboreus produces small, white flowers flushed with red-pink, adding a touch of delicate beauty to the garden. Pseudopanax arboreus is evergreen and native to New Zealand.

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
