Pittosporum tenuifolium Screen Between

Common Name: Screen Between Pittosporum

Description:
Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Screen Between’ is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub specially bred for dense screening and hedging. It features small, glossy green leaves with a naturally upright and compact growth habit, making it an excellent choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, or formal hedges. In spring and early summer, it produces small, dark purple, honey-scented flowers that attract bees and pollinators. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Screen Between’ prefers full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. It is highly drought and frost tolerant once established, requiring minimal maintenance apart from occasional pruning to maintain shape and density.
