Description

Pittosporum tenuifolium Golf Ball Hedge Plants

A great choice for low maintenance ornamental hedging, it has a naturally globular habit and is therefore often grown as a ball. Its evergreen leaves are bright and glossy. The small brownish-purple flowers in May-June are not showy, but have a nice honey scent that gets stronger in the evening. To 1.2 metres.

Growing Pittosporum Golf Ball

Likes a moist, fertile soil with a decent amount of sun. It is hardy throughout most of the UK, but in colder parts of Scotland it will struggle in exposed locations.

Clip it once a year in Spring to keep it nice and bushy. When it reaches its full size, you can get away with clipping it every other year.

Did You Know?

Pitto-sporum means tar-seed, and tenui-folium is thin-leaf. At home in New Zealand, it is called Kohuhu and Tawhiwhi.
