Muehlenbeckia astonii, commonly known as Shrubby Tororaro, is a distinctive, deciduous shrub endemic to New Zealand. It has a tangled, divaricating growth habit, forming a dense, wiry structure that can grow up to 2.5 meters tall and wide. The shrub features small, rounded green leaves that are sparsely distributed along its wiry branches, creating an intricate, architectural appearance. In summer, it produces small, inconspicuous cream-colored flowers, followed by white, fleshy fruits. It is commonly used in native plantings, as a feature plant, or for hedging and borders due to its unique form and adaptability. It is also a nationally threatened species, valued for conservation and ecological restoration projects.
