Kanono is found in wet and shaded forest areas where it can grow to 6 metres high, with a slender trunk and stout branches. Leaves grow up to 15 cm long with 2 cm or longer stalks.[3]
Kanono produces ripe orange fruit between February and May, then flowers around April.[4]
Māori have used the bark to produce a yellow colour for dyeing flax fibre. [1]
