Pittosporum Green Pillar

PLANT PROFILE

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Green Pillar' is an elegant evergreen shrub prized for its narrow, upright columnar shape and dense, glossy dark green foliage. Growing typically 3 to 4 meters tall and 0.5 to 1 meter wide, it’s perfect for adding vertical structure in gardens, narrow spaces, or as a formal hedge.

It produces small, inconspicuous flowers in late spring to early summer, followed by woody seed capsules. This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates drought, salt spray, and a variety of soil types, provided they are well-drained. While pruning isn’t necessary, it can be trimmed to maintain a neat form.

Ideal for hedging, screening, and container planting, 'Green Pillar' establishes best with regular watering in the first year and moderate drought tolerance thereafter. Plant spacing should be 1 to 2 meters apart to allow healthy growth and airflow.

Planting Tips: Ensuring a Strong Start

Site Selection: Choose a full sun to partial shade location with well-drained soil.

Digging the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper.

Planting: Ensure the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with native soil and water deeply.

Mulching: Apply a 5–7cm mulch layer around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Watering: Water regularly during establishment; once mature, occasional deep watering is sufficient.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
