How to grow Pittosporum 'Pom Pom' in NZ

Pittosporum 'Pom Pom' grows best in a sunny to partially shaded position with well drained soil. It adapts readily to a range of soil types provided drainage is adequate. Water regularly during establishment to encourage strong root development, then reduce watering once plants are settled. Incorporating compost into the planting area can improve soil structure and support healthy growth. Applying mulch around the base helps conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and encourage successful establishment and long term plant health.

Pittosporum 'Pom Pom' care tips

Pittosporum 'Pom Pom' is easy to maintain and requires minimal care once established. Water during prolonged dry periods, particularly while plants are becoming established. Light trimming can be undertaken to maintain its rounded shape or create a formal low hedge. Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser to encourage fresh foliage growth and maintain plant vigour. Remove any damaged or dead branches as required. Its naturally compact growth habit reduces pruning requirements and keeps maintenance to a minimum.

Pittosporum 'Pom Pom' typically grows to around 80 centimetres to 1.2 metres tall and wide, forming a dense rounded shrub. Growth is moderate, allowing plants to develop steadily while remaining easy to manage. Space plants approximately 50 to 70 centimetres apart for low hedging or around 1 metre apart when planted as individual specimens. This spacing provides adequate airflow and room for development while maintaining an attractive and balanced appearance within the landscape.
