Patch of 20 or more shrubs planted en masse. Heavy fruiting. These plants may have originated from live plants I brought to Whanganui from Pukerua Bay in 1988 - several local nurseries obtained fruit from the first plantings we did at the Museum around 1990
A few plants under limestone archway, quite trodden on by visitors.
Locations are not accurate beyond about 5km to protect cave positions
