A changing silhouette

Horoeka is recognised by its long, narrow, downward-pointing juvenile leaves. Adult leaves are shorter and the mature tree develops a bushy crown.

Make room for the adult tree

Juvenile plants can appear very narrow, but the mature form is different. Plan for its eventual size. Species identification and height are referenced below; growing guidance awaits nursery review.
