How to grow a Griselinia littoralis hedge

Growing an amazing Griselinia littoralis hedge starts with determining the plant spacing. As a general guide, 50 cm between the plants is the ideal spacing for a Griselinia hedge. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 40 cm. However, going wider than 50 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a 40-50 cm spacing to achieve an amazing hedge.

What is the Griselinia littoralis planting distance?

The planting distance for Griselinia littoralis when growing a hedge is 50 cm between the plants. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 40 cm. However, going wider than 50 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. If you are wanting discrete plants, i.e., not a hedge, the recommended planting distance is five metres apart.

What is the Griselinia littoralis growth rate?

The growth rate of Griselinia littoralis depends on where it is positioned and how well it is cared for. In a warm climate with good growing conditions, it will grow to 8 m tall and 4 m wide in about ten years. Where anything impedes the growth such as drought, wind exposure, cold climates it will grow at a slower rate. While this tree can grow to 8 m tall, it is often clipped to smaller sizes and often into a hedge. Overall, the growth rate is considered medium-fast relative to other NZ native plants.

Why Choose Griselinia littoralis?

This native tree is prized for its fast growth, dense foliage, and excellent wind and salt spray tolerance. It forms an effective evergreen hedge or shelter, enhancing privacy and protecting gardens from coastal elements. Its versatile size and hardy nature make it a top choice for NZ landscaping projects.

Planting and Care Tips
