Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Golf Ball'

Recommended for its low, naturally ball shaped growth

This cultivar originates from New Zealand.
‘Golf Ball’ has a very round shape, not more than 1 m in dimension. It grows rapidly and stands out by its dense branches from the base upwards.
Its evergreen foliage is light green.
Discrete violet-brown flowers appear in Mai and June. The have a scent of honey but are of no decorative interest. 
‘Golf Ball’ resists rather well to drought, and to temperatures of –5 to –10° C. It is excellent for the sea side because it accepts mist and wind.
Recommended for small areas and low hedges, it is also suitable for pots and as topiary, like box.
