Adult leaves of E. coccifera. The leaves are always small and may be glaucous with bright white stems such as these, or else they may be green.

Just for interest, a photo of Mt. Wellington itself. At only 4500' elevation, it is not a very large mountain by Northern Hemisphere standards. Photo courtesy of Luke Isham.
A young E. coccifera in a pot at Steamboat Island Nursery, Olympia, WA. It is just about the right size to go into the ground. This is a good pic of the general look of a seedling, though the juvenile leaves may be a little longer and narrower than this.
