Today at the plant stand on Glenfield Rd we have a “special” – 4 of the $3 kawakawa for $10. Kawakawa enjoy close plant communities and can be seen wild – or planted – in groups, under shade trees, and among other small trees and shrubs.
Having several of them gives you a better chance of having both a male and a female tree. Only the female trees will bear fruit.
Both male and female trees are needed for pollination of the flowers so they produce fruit. I dont know how near they need to be to each other. More info at northshorewilds.co.nz
