Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Tandara Gold’

An evergreen with pretty pale green centered and dark edged leaves. As a small tree or large shrub it grows to approximately 3m in height.

Happy in sun to partial shade in moist but well drained and acid to neutral soil. Keep out of cold winds and off north facing sites.

N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.

As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
