Coprosma robusta commonly known as Karamu, is a hardy, evergreen shrub native to New Zealand. It typically grows up to 6 meters tall and 3 meters wide, forming a dense, bushy structure with glossy, dark green leaves that are elliptical in shape. Small, inconspicuous greenish flowers bloom in spring, followed by bright orange or red berries, which attract birds. Coprosma robusta is often used in native plantings, shelter belts, and revegetation projects due to its hardiness and adaptability.
