How to grow Pittosporum 'Perfect Pillar' in NZ

Pittosporum 'Perfect Pillar' grows best in a sunny to partially shaded position with well drained soil. It adapts readily to a wide range of soil types and performs successfully throughout much of New Zealand. Water regularly during establishment to encourage strong root development, then only during prolonged dry periods. 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 'Perfect Pillar' care tips

Pittosporum 'Perfect Pillar' is easy to maintain and requires little ongoing care once established. Water during extended dry spells, particularly while plants are becoming established. Light trimming can be undertaken to maintain its upright shape or create a formal hedge. Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser to encourage healthy foliage growth and maintain plant vigour. Remove any damaged or dead branches as needed. Its naturally narrow growth habit reduces pruning requirements while maintaining a neat appearance.

Pittosporum 'Perfect Pillar' size, spacing, and growth rate

Pittosporum 'Perfect Pillar' typically grows to around 3 to 4 metres tall and 1 to 1.5 metres wide, forming a dense upright shrub. Growth is moderate to fast, allowing plants to establish quickly and provide effective screening. Space plants approximately 75 centimetres to 1 metre apart for hedging or around 1.5 metres apart when planted as individual specimens. This spacing provides adequate airflow and room for development while maintaining a strong vertical presence within the landscape.
