Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.

Shrub
An attractive shrub similar to C. lucida but smaller leaves and more compact. From Great Barrier Island. Good specimen shrub for medium gardens.
