Griselinia littoralis
Griselinia are upright evergreen shrubs native to New Zealand. They have simple, oval leaves, and tiny yellow-green flowers, male and female on separate plants.These plants make good hedging plants. Grisselinia littoralis is a large shrub, with apple green, broadly oval leaves, and inconspicuous, small, yellow-green flowers that are followed by purple fruits on female plants where plants of both sexes are grown together
Flowering
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Inconspicuous, very small yellow-green flowers appear in Spring, followed - on female plants where plants of both sexes are grown together - by small purple fruit
Planting
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
Plant in full sun in free-draining soil. If using as hedging, plant at a distance of about 3' apart
Propagating by cuttings
From Late Summer TO Early Autumn
Take semi- ripe cuttings from this season's growth in Autumn. Cut neatly, just below a leaf node, a 5" approx. piece of a healthy shoot that has soft growth at the tip. pinch out the growing tip, and cut off the bottom leaves. Dip the bottom of the cutting in hormone rooting powder, and carefully place in a pot of cutting compost with the leaves just above the level of the compost. Water, label, cover with a polythene bag, and place in a warm, bright place, out of direct sunlight. Take the polythene bag off periodically for a while for ventilation (at least twice a week)
