Coprosma rubra is a rare hardy shrub with stems of young branches a reddish colour. Yellow / White berries. Well-drained sites.
Small-leaved Coprosmas are good for revegetation projects, hedging, and adding texture into a garden. They are evergreen and suited to full sun to part shade. They produce berries from January to April that are dispersed by fruit-eating animals (frugivory). They also provide habitat for New Zealand’s declining lizard and gecko populations.
Mingimingi provides a tough shelter, providing good food for native birds and lizards, as well as ground cover.
Habitat: Lowland to montane. Usually in riparian forest and shrubland, especially on alluvial soils or those derived from calcareous parent materials.
Flowering: Spring - Summer [September - January]
Fruiting: Summer - Autumn [January - April]
