Thanks! I'll look that up :-)

Eeek, I think you're right! They grow into huge trees!

well, they're large shrubs or small trees - huge trees might be a stretch.You can trim them . but there are better alternatives if you want a smaller shrub.

Yeah it was a surprise shrub that popped up in the front garden - and not in the ideal spot. I'm afraid it might have to go. Thanks heaps for your great gardening eye and knowledge.

Wash hands well after handling ngaios - sap and leaves contain toxins.
