Pseudopanax crassifolius
Horoeka
Narrow-growing tree with a tall, erect trunk. Juvenile leaves are long and narrow and hang from the main trunk. After many years the foliage changes to a small head of leaves. Foliage varies in colour from dark-green to orange-brown, usually with an orange-yellow midrib. Provides a focal point for restricted sites where a hardy, dramatic tree is required. Small, green-yellow flowers from mid-summer to early-autumn. Similar to Pseudopanax ferox, but has less prominently-toothed leaves.
