Why Choose Pittosporum for Screening?

A pittosporum screen offers the perfect blend of form and function. These evergreen plants provide year-round coverage, with glossy leaves that create an elegant backdrop while muffling noise and blocking unwanted views. Pittosporums adapt well to New Zealand’s diverse climates, tolerate coastal conditions, and recover quickly from trimming. Their upright growth habits and variety of leaf colours—ranging from deep greens to silvery blues—mean you can find a pittosporum screen to suit any style, from modern to cottage gardens.

Popular Pittosporum Screening Varieties

Choosing the right pittosporum for your screen depends on your site conditions and aesthetic preferences. Here are some of our favourite options for hedging and privacy:

Tips for Planting and Maintaining Your Pittosporum Screen

For a successful pittosporum screen, space your plants 1 to 1.5 metres apart, depending on your desired density. Choose a sunny to partly shaded position—pittosporums are adaptable but thrive in light, free-draining soils. Mulch after planting to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly while establishing and prune lightly each year to promote bushiness and maintain a tidy form.

Pittosporums respond well to trimming, so don’t be afraid to shape your hedge or screen as it grows. Fertilise annually with a general garden fertiliser to encourage lush growth.

Transform Your Garden with a Pittosporum Screen

Whether you need privacy from neighbours, want to shield your outdoor living area from prevailing winds, or simply love the look of dense, glossy foliage, a pittosporum screen is a beautiful and practical solution. Explore our selection of proven pittosporum screening varieties—including Pittosporum Wonder Screen, Pittosporum Screen Between, Pittosporum Screenmaster, Pittosporum 'Wrinkled Blue', and Pittosporum 'Mountain Green'—to find the perfect fit for your landscape. Start planning your pittosporum screen today and enjoy a more private, wind-protected, and beautiful garden year-round.
