What are the landscaping uses for Pittosporum Taupo in NZ?

Pittosporum Taupo is a popular choice in landscaping projects in NZ. It makes a beautiful low hedge and is also clipped into topiary balls. This shrub is well suited to modern and formal gardens and is widely used around pools and other outdoor living spaces. The Plant Company often recommends growing this variety in a pot to border an entrance. It is the lush and bright foliage and versatility of this plant that makes it a popular choice in landscaping.

Pittosporum Taupo spacing

The Pittosporum Taupo 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 80 cm tall. If, on the other hand, you want discrete plants, they should be spaced at least 1.5 m apart.
