How to grow Pittosporum 'Emerald Green' in NZ

Pittosporum 'Emerald Green' grows best in a sunny to partially shaded position with well drained soil. It adapts readily to most soil types and performs well throughout New Zealand. Water regularly during establishment to encourage strong root development, then only during prolonged dry periods. Adding compost to the planting area can improve soil structure and support healthy growth. Applying mulch around the base helps conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and encourage strong establishment during the first few growing seasons.
