Plant description
This handsome, fast-growing evergreen shrub makes a great hedge or screen - and because it can take filtered salt-laden wind in its stride, it's particularly useful in a protected coastal setting. The rich green, broadly oval leaves look great all year (even in the depths of winter), and they have a lovely lustre to their surface.

How to care for Griselinia littoralis Green Horizon ('Whenuapai') (PBR):
