Serendipitous supply
When the Monarch Butterfly NZ Trust wanted to give a gift of plants, locally sourced from Rarangi Beach, east of Blenheim, they came to Oratia. Not only could we provide an eco-sourced species, it was also a plant which had since disappeared from the region!

This is the Trust's story.

Rubus schmidelioides
Height: 3m;  Spread: 3m
Vine
An attractive but prickly vine, Much smaller than the relative Rubus cissioides. If planted in a place that is out of the way it would look good on trellis.
