Carpodetus serratus also known as Marble Leaf is an attractive New Zealand native tree known for its upright, spreading branches making it a fantastic choice for shade or as a specimen tree in the landscape. The plant's juvenile growth is tangled and intricate, maturing to reveal dark green foliage with distinctive lighter green marbling, adding visual interest and texture.

Preferring good, moisture-retentive soil, Carpodetus serratus thrives in both full sun and semi-shaded conditions. Hardy and low-maintenance, it’s ideal for gardens that require a tree with a graceful form and unique foliage to enhance the overall landscape.
