Griselinia littoralis Broadway Mint

Griselinia littoralis Broadway Mint, commonly known as Kapuka or NZ Broadleaf, is a fast growing, small, NZ native tree with dense branching and lush foliage which makes it perfect for hedging. The foliage comprises large and glossy, wavy leaves which gives it a fresh and vibrant appeal. Small, green flowers in spring are followed by green-black fruits in autumn which are great for attracting birds. Left untrimmed, it will grow to 5 m tall and 3 m wide, but it is often clipped to sizes much less than this. It grows best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site and will tolerate coastal conditions, wind, and frost. Griselinia littoralis Broadway Mint makes a beautiful hedge and a fantastic screen, but also makes for a lovely specimen, or as a colourful backdrop for smaller plants. The gorgeous foliage and versatility of this plant makes it a popular choice.

Griselinia Broadway Mint Spacing

The Griselinia Broadway Mint spacing for a hedge is generally 50 cm between the plants. If you want the Broadway Mint hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 40 cm. However, going wider than 50 cm will have two effects. The first is that the gap between the plants at the base will be harder to fill in and this can cause frustration. The second is that the plants will tend to grow wider rather than upward. At a closer spacing the plants compete for light, and in doing so, they push each other upwards. Therefore, The Plant Company recommends a 40-50 cm spacing to achieve an amazing Griselinia Broadway Mint hedge.

Griselinia Broadway Mint Diseases

Griselinia Broadway Mint is a hardy and popular hedging plant in New Zealand, but like any plant, it can be susceptible to certain diseases. Root rot is a fungal disease that thrives in waterlogged soil. It attacks the roots, preventing the plant from taking up water and nutrients. Symptoms include wilting, yellowing leaves, and dieback. To prevent root rot, ensure your Griselinia is planted in well-draining soil and avoid overwatering. Leaf spot is a fungal disease that causes dark spots to appear on the leaves. It's more common in humid conditions. To prevent leaf spot, ensure good air circulation around the plants and remove any fallen leaves. These two problems account for about 90% of the Griselinia Broadway Mint Diseases but are easily controlled or prevented.
