A hardy New Zealand native shrub with a naturally dense, divaricating branching habit and small, glossy green foliage. During the cooler months, the leaves develop attractive bronze to orange-red tones, providing year-round colour and interest. Its compact, bushy form makes Coprosma 'Mangatangi' an excellent choice for hedging, borders and low-maintenance landscape plantings.
