Description
Pittosporum tenuifolium tom thumb’ is a compact evergreen shrub. Young leaves start green turning purple when mature. Naturally round forming, pittosporum can be pruned into dome-shaped balls and can have a striking effect in the garden when planted in a group as varying sized balls. They can also be planted close together to create the look that they are one larger shrub.
As well as a bushy shrub, pittosporum can be grown taller, a great evergreen solution to adding height into the garden.
