Whenuapai (syn. Green Horizon)
GRISELINIA

Griselinia Whenuapai (syn. Green Horizon), also known by its Maori name Kapuka, is an ideal hedging plant. This selection has deeper green, glossier foliage and more upright growth, compared to the commonly used Griselinia. Whenuapai can be easily trimmed to form a neat, compact hedge or used as a specimen or background border plant in the garden, where it will mature around 6m high x 3m wide. Plant in full sun, to partial shade, and moist, but well drained, humus rich soil. Hardy to -10C and ideal for coastal gardens where the thick, glossy leaves will withstand salt spray. When planting a hedge of Whenuapai, plant at 75cm spacings and pinch out the growing tips frequently for the first year, to encourage lateral branching. Evergreen.
