Pseudopanax ferox or Toothed Lancewood, is a striking, prehistoric looking tree native to New Zealand. Its juvenile foliage features long, narrow leaves with sharply toothed margins, creating a distinctive appearance. As it matures the tree develops a bushy, braided form with more robust, broader leaves offering a unique contrast in the landscape.

This hardy and evergreen tree is highly adaptable, capable of tolerating very dry conditions, though it does not tolerate wet feet. Pseudopanax ferox is perfect for those looking for an eye-catching specimen tree that can withstand tough conditions while adding a touch of drama to the garden.
