What are the landscaping uses for Pittosporum Green Pillar?

Pittosporum Green Pillar is a popular choice in landscaping projects. It makes a beautiful hedge and a fantastic screen, but also makes for a lovely specimen or a lush backdrop for smaller plants. It is the gorgeous foliage and versatility of this plant that makes it a popular choice in landscaping. Few other trees can grow on marginal soils and climates and still look amazing.

Pittosporum Green Pillar hedge spacing

The Pittosporum Green Pillar hedge spacing 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 hedge.

What height does the Pittosporum Green Pillar tree grow to?

Pittosporum Green Pillar trees will grow to a height of about 3.5 metres. 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.

Pittosporum Green Pillar problems

The Green Pillar Pittosporum is a hardy and popular hedging plant, but like any plant, it can be susceptible to certain problems. Root rot is a fungal disease that thrives in waterlogged soil and 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 Pittosporum is planted in well-draining soil and avoid overwatering. A further common problem is the tree can become sparse of foliage. This will occur if shade levels are too high or the trees have not been regularly trimmed. The simple solution here is to plant the tree in full sun and undertake trimming once per annum. These two problems account for about 95% of the issues but are easily controlled or prevented. Pest issues are infrequent as are other fungal issues.
