Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Golden Ball'

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Golden Ball' is one of the standout varieties in the Pittosporum ball collection, known for its compact growth, vibrant foliage, and striking architectural form. This variety naturally develops a pleasing, dome-like shape without the need for constant trimming, typically reaching just over a metre in height at maturity. With regular maintenance, it can be shaped into a tighter, more defined ball, making it an excellent alternative to boxwood. The young leaves are a bright yellow, gradually maturing to a soft yellow-green as they age. As an evergreen shrub, 'Golden Ball' offers dense, lush foliage year-round and is both low-maintenance and highly resistant to disease. This versatile plant can be grown in decorative containers or used in borders to create focal points, bringing structure and interest to the landscape throughout the year. It also works well as a low hedge, adding a neat, tidy element to garden designs. Mature height and spread: 1.2m (4ft).
