lemon tree hedge
A lemon tree hedge is a beautiful and practical way to define your property’s borders, add year-round greenery, and give your garden a fresh citrus fragrance. These evergreen hedges make a striking alternative to the more traditional hedge varieties, rewarding you not only with glossy leaves and fragrant white blossoms, but also with juicy homegrown lemons for culinary use. With our New Zealand climate, growing a lemon tree hedge is both an ornamental and productive choice—ideal for coastal gardens, urban backyards, and lifestyle blocks alike.
Pittosporum eugenioides (Tarata)
Pittosporum eugenioides, commonly known as Tarata or Lemonwood, is a fast-growing native New Zealand tree valued for its glossy green leaves and lemon-scented foliage. It can reach 10 metres tall and makes an excellent shelter tree or native hedge. In spring, it produces clusters of small, yellowish flowers that are attractive to insects. Tarata is hardy, tolerates wind and drought once established, and is an excellent choice for native plantings or revegetation projects.
