Corokia is a novel looking shrub - it looks like it lacks direction in life, with its stems intertwining and zig-zagging here and there and forming a confusing mass of stem and leaf. Corokia also produces masses of yellow star like scented blossom which can be followed by masses lots small cotoneaster like berries.
