Description

Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Emerald Dome' is a compact, evergreen shrub that typically grows to an approximate height and spread of around 1.5 metres. This flowering tawhiwhi features small, glossy green leaves with slightly wavy edges, set against dark, almost black stems, which provide a striking contrast. In late spring to eary summer, it produces small, fragrant flowers that are usually dark purple to nearly black.

The Emerald Dome also known as 'Minpitto' thrives in well-drained soils and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. It is low-maintenance and versatile, making it ideal for small gardens, containers, low hedges, or as a neat specimen in mixed borders. Its compact size and attractive foliage make it perfect for adding structure and texture to a variety of garden settings.

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.

Aftercare Advice

Trees and shrubs require a good watering regime for a couple of years whilst they establish. Water well and regularly through spring and summer, increasing in hot or dry weather. If planting in autumn, you may only need to water a little. It is advisable to keep the area free of competing weeds and grass during this period.
