How to grow a Griselinia littoralis variegata hedge in NZ

Growing an amazing Griselinia littoralis variegata hedge in NZ starts with determining the plant spacing. As a general guide, 50 cm is the ideal spacing between plants for a Griselinia hedge. If you want the hedge to fill in more quickly, you can reduce the spacing to 40 cm. Ensure you use a string line to keep the hedge straight. Start clipping the hedge from a young age. Each time the tip of a branch is removed, the buds below it will sprout. The advice is therefore to trim little and often to achieve a dense hedge that is uniform and highly aesthetic. Finally, ensure the soil is well-drained; otherwise, all your efforts to grow a hedge could be wasted.
