Why Choose Pittosporum 'Golf Ball'

Pittosporum 'Golf Ball' earns its name from its tidy, rounded growth habit. Reaching about 80cm by 80cm, it rarely needs clipping, but trims beautifully if you want sharp lines or topiary balls. The glossy, fresh green leaves hold through the winter, and its tolerance for wind, coastal gardens, and trimming makes 'Golf Ball' a reliable performer almost anywhere in New Zealand.

Key features include:

• Compact, low-growing habit
• No-fuss, minimal pruning requirements
• All-year foliage colour and form
• Hardy for coastal and windy gardens

Perfect Uses for Pittosporum 'Golf Ball'

Gardeners buy Pittosporum Golf Ball to create subtle structure without the fuss of continual maintenance. Try planting as a formal border along driveways or walkways for instant curb appeal, or mix with contrasting foliage for modern, graphic beds. Pittosporum 'Golf Ball' is equally at home in pots, making it an elegant choice for patios or entrances.

If you’re developing a hedge, plant 60-80cm apart to encourage a continuous, dense line. Mix with other compact shrubs like Gardenia Fragrant Star or team with Lavandula angustifolia for fragrance and colour combination.

Growing Tips and Care

Pittosporum 'Golf Ball' is very forgiving and thrives in full sun or partial shade. It prefers well-drained soil but will tolerate poor conditions once established. Water regularly when young, then reduce as the plant matures. Feed in spring to promote new growth, and give the odd trim if you want to maintain a perfectly spherical shape.

If you love the resilience and look of Pittosporums, you might also be interested in Pittosporum eugenioides (Tarata), a New Zealand native tree with lemon-scented foliage, or the reliable Pittosporum tenuifolium. For more unique colours and forms, take a look at Pittosporum 'Wrinkled Blue' or compact Pittosporum 'Midget' (Dwarf Pittosporum).

Complementary Plants for Pittosporum

Create designer-style groupings with other hardworking shrubs. Olearia cheesmanii (Daisy Bush) brings textural silver leaves, Adenanthos sericeus adds soft form, or try Fuchsia 'Aachener Klenkes' for a burst of summer colour. For something striking, consider the lime-hued Pittosporum 'Limelight' (Kohuhu) as a pairing.
