Description

An award-winning evergreen shrub, Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Queen' has variegated grey-green leaves edged with white. The leaves can take on an unusual wavy appearance, creating texture. Small dark purple flowers in summer have a honeyed scent.

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Queen' is a bushy shrub, grows to 4 metres in height and 3 in spread. Avoid planting in a position with cold drying wind.

Planting Steps

1Preparation

Pot-grown plants can be planted at any time of year, whereas bare roots need to be planted between November and March.
Clear weeds and grass within a metre of the planting hole.
Dig a hole as deep as the root mass and twice as wide.
To help your plant establish more effectively, sprinkle Rootgrow in the hole.

2Planting

Gently loosen the roots and place into the planting hole.
Ensure the top of the plant's compost is flush with the level of the surrounding soil and the graft union or collar of the tree is above ground level.
Mix 50% of the original soil with 50% compost.
Fill in the hole, firming the soil gently.

3Last Steps

Water generously around the base of the plant.
If you are planting either a single stem tree or mature standard tree, we recommend adding a staking kit and rabbit guard.
