Coprosma linariifolia, also known as Mikimiki or Yellow Wood, is an erect, tall shrub or small tree native to New Zealand, found from the Manawatu / Hawkes Bay southwards.
It typically has a single trunk with smooth to rough fawn-grey bark, and the inner bark is a vibrant yellow to orange-yellow color, which is the origin of its common name. The fruit is yellow and often flecked with blue or blue-black, sometimes uniformly black, adding visual interest to the plant.
Growing Conditions:
• Tolerances: Sun, shade, wetland, and coastal environments.
• Endemic Distribution: North and South Islands, specifically from Hawkes Bay and Manawatu south.
Specifications:
• Height: Up to 8m.
• Flowering: November to December, with green-colored flowers.
• Fruiting: January to April, with yellow fruit, often flecked with blue or blue-black.
Ideal Uses:
• Bird food / Attractant.
• Bee food.
• Riparian plantings (ideal for planting near water).
Mikimiki is a striking plant with its yellow bark and flecked fruit, making it a standout in any garden, particularly for bird and bee-friendly planting schemes. It thrives in sun, shade, wetland, and coastal environments.
