Pittosporum tenuifolium (Kohuhu) 'Golf Ball'

A superb evergreen shrub prized for its naturally dense, spherical form that maintains a perfect rounded shape without pruning, creating instant structure in borders and containers. The small, bright green leaves clothe the plant in a lush, uniform manner, contrasting beautifully with slender black stems that add subtle winter interest. Unlike larger growing pittosporums, this compact selection reaches just the right proportions for formal gardens, pathway edging or patio displays while resisting the legginess of other varieties. Delicate honey scented purple flowers appear in spring, offering additional charm. Thriving in sun or partial shade, it adapts well to coastal conditions and urban environments, requiring minimal care once established. An excellent low maintenance choice for adding year round form and texture to contemporary plantings.
