6" / 14 cm pot | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Pittosporum Golf Ball is a low dense hedge you can trim as a topiary. It can be described as "the plant that trims itself", as it keeps its compact rounded shape and doesn't get too big.
Golf Ball pittosporums feature bright mint-green glossy leaves with small, inconspicuous chocolate-purple flowers. Prefers a full sun to part shade position. | Ficus microcarpa var. nitida
Common names: Chinese Banyan, Malayan Banyan or Indian Laurel Fig.
A hardy evergreen ficus plants and are the number one choice for standardizing. The soft, white bark contrasts beautifully against the exuberant, glossy green foliage, making a feature out of your pleached hedge or standard topiary. It can tolerate a wide range of soils from clay to sandy, preferring a rich, moist loam in which it would thrive. They grow best in full sun to part shade and produce no flowers, making it a no mess hedging option!
Ficus roots are known to be quite vigorous, but can be controlled by keeping the foliage and head of the plant trimmed, roughly 2-4 times a year. They are best planted away from water pipes, easements and pools to avoid any root issues.
