Why Choose Pittosporum ‘Golf Ball’?

Pittosporum ‘Golf Ball’ is prized for its tight, naturally spherical form, giving gardens a polished look without constant shaping. It remains compact at maturity, reaching around 80 cm in height and width. The foliage is glossy, vibrant green, and looks fresh throughout the year, even during winter. This makes Pittosporum ‘Golf Ball’ ideal for urban gardens, small spaces, and minimalist designs where structure matters.

Drought-tolerant and hardy, this dwarf Pittosporum stands up well to wind and coastal conditions, fitting perfectly in New Zealand’s diverse climates. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, and copes well with a range of soil types, provided they are free-draining. Minimal maintenance is required; simply prune lightly in early spring to maintain its sphere shape if desired.
