Pittosporum Elfin
Botanical
Pittosporum tenuifolium
Description
Looking for a compact no trim topiary? ‘Elfin’ could be just the plant for you!!! ‘Elfin’ is an exciting new dwarf Pittosporum selection from Clareville Nursery NZ, selected from a batch of P. tenuifolium seedlings in 2001 for it’s amazing tight habit. The mid green foliage of this selection is much tighter than ‘Gold Ball’ with the individual internodes being not more the 5mm apart. To complement the dwarf habit the plant is quick growing making it the ideal nurseryman’s crop. ‘Elfin’ is the ideal choice where space is limited, perfect for specimen pots or containers in the modern courtyard or ideal to define the edge of the formal border. Easy in any well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. A fantastic new, low maintenance selection. Hardy to –7°C. 0.5 x 0.5m.
