Pittosporum 'Mini Green' Details

Pittosporum eugenioides ‘Mini Green’ is a NZ native tree grown for its bright foliage. It features narrow, yellow-green leaves held on dark stems which release a pleasant lemon-scent when crushed. The foliage is complemented with small, yellow flowers in spring which are borne in clusters. They result in small fruits, which along with the flowers, are great for attracting birds. It typically grows to 6 m tall and 3 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. Best performance with this variety is achieved when it is planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of most soil types, except extreme wet or dry, wind, coastal conditions, periods of dry, and moderate frost. Pittosporum ‘Mini Green’ is ideal for shelter, screening, and hedging. It makes for a lovely backdrop for smaller plants as well as a stunning specimen.
