How to use Pittosporum tenuifolium Midget ?

Thanks to its tight growth habit and limited size, Pittosporum tenuifolium Midget is ideal for low hedging, edging pathways, and compact formal layouts.

Its dark foliage offers excellent contrast with lighter-leaved plants, ornamental grasses, or sculptural perennials in structured compositions.

Growing tips for Pittosporum tenuifolium Midget

Plant Pittosporum tenuifolium Midget in well-drained, light soils with a neutral to slightly acidic pH. Preferred planting times are spring or autumn, spacing 50 to 70 cm for low hedges or mass planting. Choose a sunny to partially shaded location to ensure dense, symmetrical growth. Water regularly during the first year, then moderately as the plant establishes. Pruning is rarely needed—light reshaping in spring is sufficient. Apply mulch and a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support healthy development and vigour.
