Pittosporum 'Emerald Green' Details

Pittosporum ‘Emerald Green’ is a NZ native shrub grown for its dense foliage and great form. The glossy, emerald-green leaves are held on dark stems. It grows with a tight and upright habit to about 3 m tall and 2 m wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this plant are achieved when it is planted in full sun on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of most soil types, except extreme wet or dry, moderate shade and frost, wind, and coastal conditions. Pittosporum ‘Emerald Green’ is commonly used for shelter, screening, and hedging. It makes an attractive specimen and is often used as a backdrop to other plants or planted around outdoor living areas to provide both privacy and lovely aesthetics. For a Pittosporum ‘Emerald Green’ hedge, space plants 50-60 cm apart.
