Architectural Foliage and Form

The ruffled leaves give 'Tasman Ruffles' a unique appearance, with soft undulating edges that add movement and interest. Its upright, columnar growth habit makes it easy to clip into a formal hedge or let grow naturally for a softer, more relaxed screen.

Best Uses in Landscaping

This variety is ideal for medium to tall hedges, boundary planting, and shelterbelts. It works well in both formal and informal gardens, and its olive-toned foliage complements a wide range of landscape palettes. 'Tasman Ruffles' is also suitable for large containers and feature planting.

Size and Growth Rate

'Tasman Ruffles' typically grows to 3–4 metres tall and 1.5–2 metres wide. It has a moderate to fast growth rate and responds well to trimming, which helps maintain density and shape. It's a reliable performer for creating privacy or wind protection.

Growing Conditions

This Pittosporum thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It tolerates coastal conditions, light frost, and dry periods once established. Its hardiness and adaptability make it a great choice for many regions across New Zealand.

Easy Maintenance

For best results, prune once or twice a year to encourage dense growth. Apply a slow-release fertiliser in early spring and mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weeds. Minimal care is needed once established.
