Known as the wire netting bush, this New Zealand shrub can reach eight feet, but is more typically four to six feet high and wide. For dry soil in full sun and sheltered from cold winds, it will tolerate -10C but may suffer stem dieback in bad winters.

Mine has reached three feet in three years. I will not let it get above five though.

We have two other Corokia that grow much faster than this one, have to prune them every year.....

Had this for about 5 years now, and it is still only a foot tall!
