Hi Antonio,

Is this a type of cotoneaster? If I am not mistaken, it produces tiny bright yellow flowers?

Cheers.

It is native to NZ name Corokia cotoneaster. The common name is Black corokia
It is not of the same family though.The cotoneaster is of the Rosaceae
While the Corokia is of the Cornaceae.
Its natural habit is much like the tortured filbert of the hazelnut tribe or me TWISTED. :shock: Pup

I would of thought that that is definitely the wrong tree if you're after a thick trunk. Mind you, that's the thickest Corokia I've ever seen
