Pittosporum

In late spring clusters of very fragrant, star-shaped, creamy white flowers cover this dense shrub or small tree. Leaves are glossy, leathery and thick. In cooler climates, plant against a south- or west-facing wall.

These shrubs and trees are valued for their dense, evergreen foliage, often fragrant flowers, interesting fruit and adaptability to a wide range of soils and climates. They are fairly drought-resistant, but look better with watering. Most make excellent hedges, screens or windbreaks
