Well-suited to New Zealand’s temperate climate, P. arboreus thrives in areas with mild temperatures and moderate rainfall.
Thrives in partial shade with a canopy of taller trees above it.
Pseudopanax arboreus is prized for its attractive foliage and distinctive growth habit, making it an excellent ornamental tree in gardens and landscapes.
