Description

Pittosporum ten. Golf Ball

Pittosporum tenuifolium, a New Zealand native, is an evergreen hedge plant known for its resilience and adaptability. Found on both North and South Islands, it grows at elevations up to 3000 feet, making it frost-hardy in most locations. This plant is an excellent choice for coastal and urban gardens due to its tolerance for shade and dry soils. The small, bright green leaves have a slightly wavy edge, providing a striking contrast against the dark stems. While the chocolate-purple flowers are subtle, they emit a pleasant honey scent, particularly in the evening. However, regular trimming will reduce flowering, which in turn maintains a dense and attractive hedge perfect for privacy and screening.

In favourable conditions, Pittosporum tenuifolium can reach heights of up to 3 meters, though it typically grows to around 2 meters, making it ideal for a mid-height hedge. It prefers light, loamy soil but will thrive in various conditions, barring waterlogged or heavy clay soils. This plant is also a favourite among florists for its vibrant foliage and the longevity of its stems in water. Recognized for its ornamental value, it received the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Merit in 1931 and the Award of Garden Merit in 1984.
