Pittosporum tenuifolium (K?huhu) is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree with small, glossy, wavy-edged leaves that often have a subtle silvery sheen. It is valued for its dense growth, light texture, and ability to provide year-round structure and screening in the garden.
Hardy and low maintenance, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates coastal exposure and wind. It typically reaches a mature height of around 4–8 metres, making it ideal for hedging, screening, or feature planting.
