Akeake (Dodonaea viscosa) is a hardy and adaptable native shrub that is well suited to exposed sites and challenging growing conditions.

​

Its dense foliage provides shelter for birds and insects, while its resilience makes it an excellent species for helping establish vegetation in restoration areas.

​

Akeake is particularly valued for its ability to thrive where other species may struggle, helping create a stronger and more resilient ecosystem within riparian corridors and restoration projects.

​

Its toughness and tolerance of wind and dry conditions also make Akeake a great option for exposed Waikawa Beach gardens and lifestyle properties.
