Myrsine divaricata, commonly known as Weeping Mapou, is a species of shrub native to New Zealand and parts of the Pacific region. This evergreen plant typically grows to a height of 6 meters with a spread of 3 meters, forming a dense, bushy habit. Its foliage is characterized by small, leathery leaves that are dark green and glossy, providing year-round interest to gardens. In late spring to early summer, clusters of small, inconspicuous yellow-red flowers appear. Myrsine divaricata thrives in well-drained soils and is frost hardy, making it suitable for various garden landscapes, including coastal gardens. It is often utilised as a hedge plant, shrub, or for restoration projects due to its resilience and attractive weeping habit.
