A small spreading tree, naturally found on the Chatham Islands. Dense, narrow form when young, which can be maintained by clipping.  This tree has large, green, oval leaves and small white-yellow flowers that appear in spring.  Small fruit is white, flecked with purple, or entirely dark purple, and can appear from September through to April. Evergreen. Will tolerate cold, wind and coastal conditions, but only light to moderate frosts.
