This auction is for a bulk lot of seeds from the sturdy native shrub, Coprosma propinqua. This auction would best suit a nursery or grower wanting hundreds of plants for a major project. We estimate that there are 500 seeds in this batch.

We do not have the facilities to separate the seed from small dehydrated berries in the final mix, so the mixture does look rather potty. There is likely to be viable seed in the dehydrated berries, however, so you'll still get a respectable number of plants from this batch of seed.

The evergreen Coprosma propinqua is common in New Zealand's South Island, grows up to 3 m high, with a profusion of berries in the autumn. This seed is from plants found on private land on the West Coast.

If you're wanting to attract native birds to your garden or add some variety to your native plantings, this easily grown species will do the job
