Olearia traversii, commonly known as Chatham Island Akeake, is a hardy New Zealand native evergreen tree valued for its rapid growth, dense branching, and attractive glossy green foliage. It is an excellent choice for hedging, shelter belts, coastal planting, riparian restoration, and large scale landscaping projects. Highly tolerant of wind, salt spray, and exposed conditions, Chatham Island Akeake establishes quickly and provides year round shelter and habitat for native birds. Its dense growth habit also makes it an ideal option for privacy screening and windbreaks.
