Why Choose Pittosporum?

Pittosporums are known for their glossy leaves, rapid growth, and adaptability to various conditions. These evergreens are not only easy to grow but also tolerate coastal winds, drought, and light frosts. Suitable for home gardens, lifestyle blocks, or commercial landscaping, pittosporum makes excellent hedging and screening plants. Their compact forms are well-suited for small spaces or shapely topiary.

If you’re interested in a dwarf option, consider Pittosporum Taupo (Dwarf Pittosporum) or the richly-coloured Pittosporum Tom Thumb (Dwarf Pittosporum).

How to Grow and Plant Pittosporum

Pittosporum thrives in full sun to partial shade and will grow in most well-drained soils. For hedging, plant young pittosporums about 60 centimetres apart for a dense screen. Apply mulch to retain soil moisture, and water new plants regularly while they establish. Maintenance is simple—prune lightly to encourage bushy growth and shape as required. Their tolerance for trimming makes varieties like Pittosporum Tasman Ruffles and Pittosporum Stumpy popular with both novice gardeners and professionals.
