Corokia species are shrubs or small trees with zigzagging (divaricating) branches. The stems of the shrubs are dark when mature, covered with downy or silky hairs (tomentum) when young. In spring, they produce clusters of small, star-shaped yellow blossoms. Berries are red or yellow. This genus includes about 10 species. Corokia is native to New Zealand, Australia and Rapa Iti.
Water:
Corokia, native to New Zealand, flourishes with moderate drought tolerance. In cultivation, it needs watering every two weeks, reflecting its natural rainfall patterns. Ideal for hedging, corokia benefits from rainwater and requires less supplemental irrigation, making it suitable for resilient landscaping.
Propagation:
Corokia can be propagated via semi-hardwood cuttings or seeds. Successful propagation requires moderate light, warmth, and well-draining soil. High humidity is crucial for rooting. Cut a 4-6 inch stem, prepare, and maintain moist conditions; roots should develop in 4-8 weeks.
