How to Plant and Care for Your Titoki Tree

Plant the Titoki Tree in a sunny to partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. While fairly drought-tolerant once established, the Titoki will thrive with regular watering in its early years and a yearly mulch of compost. Prune lightly to shape, but expect minimal maintenance thanks to the Titoki’s natural compact growth habit.

The Titoki is slow-growing, which means it won’t outpace your other plantings. It’s well-suited to both coastal and urban gardens, as it tolerates moderate wind and is generally pest-resistant.

Ideal Planting Partners for Titoki

Mixing New Zealand natives with classic exotics can create a dynamic, resilient landscape. For year-round structure and foliage contrast, consider pairing your Titoki with Liquidambar styraciflua 'Rotundiloba', prized for its unique, rounded leaves and beautiful autumn colour. The vibrant spring foliage of Acer Pacific Sunset (Pacific Sunset Maple) complements the Titoki’s greens nicely.

If you’d like to feature more natives, Weinmannia silvicola (Towai) makes an excellent companion, bringing a different texture and upright habit. For a deciduous accent, the upright form of Acer 'Armstrong' works well along drives or as an avenue tree. For seasonal blooms, highlight your Titoki with the creamy white flowers of Magnolia denudata.
