What are the landscaping uses for Pittosporum Golden Ball in NZ?

Pittosporum Golden Ball is a popular choice in landscaping projects in NZ. It makes a beautiful low hedge and is also clipped into topiary balls.

Pittosporum Golden Ball spacing

The Pittosporum Golden Ball hedge spacing is generally 30 cm between the plants. If you want the hedge to fill in faster, you can shorten the spacing to 25 cm. However, going wider than 40 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 30 cm spacing to achieve an amazing hedge that is 50 cm tall. If, on the other hand, you want discrete plants, they should be spaced at least 75 cm apart.

What height does the Pittosporum Golden Ball grow to?

Pittosporum Golden Ball will grow to a height of about 50 cm. In warmer climates it will reach this height much quicker than in cooler and more exposed sites. Watering and maintaining fertility levels will also influence the time to reach this height.

What is the Pittosporum Golden Ball growth rate?

The growth rate of Pittosporum Golden Ball depends on where it is positioned and how well it is cared for. In a warm climate with good growing conditions, it will grow to 50 cm tall and the same wide in about 5 years. Where anything impedes the growth such as drought, wind exposure, cold climates it will grow at a slower rate.
