Griselinia littoralis Ardmore Emerald

Griselinia littoralis Ardmore Emerald, commonly known as Kapuka or NZ Broadleaf, is a fast growing, small, NZ native tree and has a dense growth habit which makes it perfect for as a hedge. The foliage comprises dark green, glossy leaves with light yellow veins. Small, green flowers in spring are followed by green-black fruits in autumn which are great for attracting birds. Left untrimmed, this NZ Broadleaf will grow to 8 m tall and 4 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 Ardmore Emerald is perfect for hedging and screening but is also often grown as a specimen, included in tropical gardens, or used as a backdrop for smaller plants. The gorgeous foliage and versatility of this plant makes it a popular choice. For hedging, space plants 50 cm apart.

Griselinia Ardmore Emerald Spacing

The Griselinia Ardmore Emerald spacing for a hedge is generally 50 cm between the plants. If you want the 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 Ardmore Emerald hedge.
