| Description | Luma apiculata
Myrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge.
Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens.
155 litre pot - Cloud pruned
| Pittosporum tenuifolium
Wonder Screen is a new form of Pittosporum that is noted for its dense and tighter habit. Similar to 'Silver Sheen' foliage it produces a striking mix of silver and green with dark stems. Although this variety is tolerant of most soil types it prefers a well drained soil in a full sun to semi shade position. Grows to approximately 2-4m in height. | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Also known as the New Zealand Pittosporum, Stephen's Island is an evergreen compact shrub with attractive dark-green foliage. It's a fantastic dense hedge and used extensively as an ornamental. Great for coastal conditions being from Stephen's Island in the middle of the Cook Strait.
