The midges make the leaves turn red. The gall mites and midges are not harmful to the shrub. They are a natural part of the coprosma rhamnoides life cycle.
Overall, the coprosma rhamnoides is a small, dense shrub with small, variable leaves and inconspicuous flowers. It is endemic to New Zealand and can be found throughout the country, except for some coastal areas. It prefers lowland areas and is often found in the understorey of Leptospermum and Kunzea shrubs. The shrub is hardy and can grow in a variety of environmental conditions, although it prefers low salinity and neutral pH levels. It is preyed upon by geckos, skinks, birds, and insects, but its twig-like structure makes it difficult for grazers to access the leaves and berries. The coprosma rhamnoides has a unique life cycle, with small red berries ripening in June and remaining on the shrub until they turn black. Overall, this endemic shrub plays an important role in New Zealand's ecosystem and is a unique and hardy species.
