New zealand broadleaf is an attractive shrub or small tree with glossy leaves that make an eye-catching addition to a subtropical garden. It grows best on well-drained soils since it doesn't withstand waterlogged locations. This plant is propagated by birds and other animals that eat its fleshy berries, spreading the seeds.

As a winner of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit and given its ease of trimming, it is popular as a screen or hedge.
