Pseudopanax ferox.


Pseudopanax ferox.

CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
A small round headed tree. As a juvenile it does not have branches, just a single stem with distinctive long narrow rigid very sharply toothed green to brown mottled leaves. As it matures the adult foliage is shorter and broad, dark olive-green and leathery, the trunk then branches at the top to form a round bushy top. It has smooth fluted bark. Clusters of greenish flowers are followed by brown fruit. More common in the South Island. Best planted with well drained soil, hardy.
