Kohuhu is the classic, Pittosporum tenuifolium species-form evergreen that serves as the versatile backbone of many New Zealand-inspired and coastal gardens. It forms a large, dense shrub or small tree with glossy, apple-green leaves on distinctive, nearly black stems. In spring, it fills the evening air with the sweet scent of its dark purple flowers. Fast-growing and highly adaptable, it can be used for everything from a large, informal hedge or windbreak to a sculptural multi-trunked tree, offering both privacy and fragrance.

• Classic Glossy Green Foliage: Carries the signature small, wavy, bright green, glossy leaves on contrasting dark, nearly black stems.

• Large & Fast-Growing: Quickly matures into a substantial large shrub or small tree, reaching 15-20 ft tall and 10-15 ft wide.

• Highly Fragrant Flowers: Produces an abundance of small, dark purple, intensely honey-scented flowers in spring, notable for their evening fragrance.

• Ornamental Berries: Female plants (if pollinated) produce attractive small, orange seed capsules that split open to reveal sticky black seeds.

• Extremely Versatile: Can be pruned as a large hedge, screen, or shaped into a striking multi-trunked ornamental tree.
