Pittosporum tenuifolium Screenmaster

Common Name: Screenmaster Pittosporum

Description:
Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Screenmaster' is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub or small tree specifically bred for hedging and screening. It features dense, glossy green foliage with a naturally upright growth habit, making it one of the best choices for creating a quick, effective privacy screen. In spring and summer, it produces small, dark purple, honey-scented flowers that attract bees. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, 'Screenmaster' is highly tolerant of drought, frost, and coastal conditions once established. It responds well to regular pruning, making it a versatile and low-maintenance option for formal or informal hedges, windbreaks, and boundary plantings.
