Aristotelia fruticosa
Aristotelia fruticosa, commonly known as the mountain wineberry or shrubby wineberry, is a species of tree or shrub endemic to New Zealand. It grows up to 2 metres (6 feet 7 inches) tall in a densely branching and divaricating form.
Aristotelia fruticosa is endemic to New Zealand, meaning it is only found from 37°30’S midway down the North Island and throughout the South Island and Stewart Island. It is distributed throughout the southern and western side of Mt Ruapehu and its volcanic plateaus, on Tongariro tephera, across the North Island dividing range, along the eastern side of the Southern Alps, throughout Northwestern Fiordland, in South Otago and in central Stewart Island.
