Coprosma propinqua
A small-leaved shrub or tree which grows 3 to 6 metres in height. Mingimingi is common in swampy forest, in scrub, along stream banks and in stoney places. The male flowers occur in clusters of one to four on very short branches. Female flowers are found on their own at the ends of short branchlets. The berries are sweet and juicy, pale when immature, turning dark blue or blue-flecked when mature. The shrub provides good shade and predator shelter for chooks plus forage from the berries.
11cm pot.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
