Hey everyone,
Just got this because I love the leaves. Then it arrived and I realised I didn't particularly like the style - its O.K but nothing spesh. 14 years old currently - around 23cm tall from top of soil to top of highest leaf.
Any advice for this little tree?

Last picture, lowest branch on the right should be your leader. Layer or cut of the other section and then into a grow pot or into the ground for a few years

Thanks Bodhi - seems like a good option. Any idea if the Variegated form of Coprosma will air-layer as well as ord coprosma? Perhaps air layer at a different time?

That will be no problem. All Coprosma layer easily.
