Coprosma crassifolia, is a forest shrub that is native to New Zealand. It is found in scrublands, forests, and coasts, up to approximately 600 metres in both the North and South Islands.
Coprosma crassifolia is an erect shrub growing up to 4 metres high, with red-brown branchlets, and leaves that are round, stiff and remotely spaced. The berry is translucent and holds a white seed within.[1] The shrub's berries attract skinks and birds. From September to October, the shrub would be flowering, and from November to June, it would be fruiting.[2]
