Pittosporum Hedgehog pruning

Pruning Pittosporum Hedgehog is generally to retain its compact and rounded shape. In many cases, it requires minimal pruning to maintain this form. If you desire a very formal, tight shape, light pruning can be done at any time. Pruning is used to increase the density of the plant and more effective on younger plants. Generally, the best time to prune this Pittosporum is in spring or summer. This allows the plant to recover and produce new growth during its active growing season. While Pittosporum Hedgehog tolerates pruning, try to avoid heavy pruning as this can lead to dead stems and a woody appearance until it recovers.
