    Plant Identification Help

    Came across a few of these bushes last week hunting in South Westland, can someone tell me what it is, very sharp tips.
    (Mingimingi?)
    Cheers

    Looks like prickly Mingimingi to my eyes, like gimp has pointed to.

    Yep, get it on the island can be rather ouchy pushing through it... better than gorse or matagouri though!

    White berries are edible I believe but having tried them I'd have to be bloody hungry
