A good all-round fast-growing native hedge, new to our range. It will get to about 4m for neighbour-blocking privacy screening, but can be cut back to less than half that if you need to. Very upright habit.

Dense glossy foliage is attractively coloured reddish-brown when new, golden yellow in summer; and along with the nectar rich flowers and dark red berries it provides a welcome refuge for native birds and insects.
