Pittosporum eugenioides

5 from 2 customers

Pittosporum eugenioides, also known as lemonwood or tarata, is a fast-growing, evergreen tree native to New Zealand. It typically grows to 10 metres tall and 5 metres wide, with a pyramidal or rounded shape. This tree is well-known for its lush green foliage with wavy edges and a subtle lemon fragrance when crushed. In spring, it produces clusters of small, yellow-cream flowers that add seasonal interest and attract native pollinators. Due to its speed of growth and dense canopy, it is often used for shelter, screening, revegetation, and larger native plantings.

Moss Pole For Plants

These moss poles for plants are made from Coir Fibre (i.e., the husks of coconuts). They are an eco-friendly option to help plants grow healthier and stronger as they climb the poles, and are ideal for training climbing, indoor plants. The nursery industry commonly uses these poles for Philodendron, Pothos, and Monstera plants as a few examples. They are available in 50 cm and 100 cm lengths.
