Golf Ball Pittosporum is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its tidy, rounded shape and low-maintenance growth habit. As the name suggests, it naturally forms a dense, ball-like mound without the need for regular pruning, making it an ideal choice for formal gardens, low hedges, or container planting. Its small, glossy green leaves are tightly packed along the stems, creating a clean and structured look year-round. This dwarf variety typically grows to about 2–3 feet tall and wide, offering a neat, sculpted appearance that complements both modern and traditional landscapes.
Golf Ball Pittosporum is highly adaptable and thrives in a range of conditions, including full sun to partial shade and various soil types, as long as they are well-drained. It's drought-tolerant once established and generally pest- and disease-resistant, making it a favorite among gardeners seeking low-effort greenery. Its resilience and compact form also make it a great option for urban gardens, foundation plantings, or as a replacement for boxwood in areas where box blight is a concern. Whether used as a single specimen or mass planted for a more structured look, Golf Ball Pittosporum offers year-round visual appeal with minimal upkeep.
