What are the landscaping uses for Pittosporum eugenioides Variegatum in NZ?

Pittosporum eugenioides Variegatum is a popular choice in landscaping projects in NZ. It makes a beautiful hedge and a fantastic screen, but also makes for a lovely specimen or a lush backdrop for smaller plants. It is the gorgeous foliage and versatility of this plant that make it a popular choice in landscaping. Few other trees can grow on marginal soils and climates and still look amazing.

Pittosporum eugenioides Variegatum hedge spacing

The Pittosporum eugenioides Variegatum hedge spacing is generally 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. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a 40-50 cm spacing to achieve an excellent hedge.

What is the Pittosporum eugenioides Variegatum growth rate?

The growth rate of Pittosporum eugenioides Variegatum 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 6 m tall and 3 m wide in about 8-10 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 6 m tall, it is often clipped to smaller sizes and often into a hedge. Overall, the growth rate is considered medium relative to other NZ native hedging plants.
