Hedycarya arborea

Hedycarya arborea is an attractive erect-growing specimen with dark-green leaves. It produces small, white flowers in late spring to late summer, which are followed by large, orange fruit in early autumn to mid-winter. It is important to plant more than one tree, with both male and female specimens, to ensure the production of fruit. Hedycarya arborea requires good soil with adequate moisture and shelter from frosts in order to thrive. Hedycarya arborea is evergreen and native to New Zealand.
