It tends to be less dense when grown in shaded conditions. The Japanese Pittosporum is hardy to moderate frost, cool climates, coastal conditions, and most soil types except wet or heavy soils. Pittosporum tobira is commonly used as a backdrop for smaller plants, grown as a specimen, or planted to attract birds.
