Pittosporum tenuifolium Pinnacle

Minimum order quantity for this plant in 14cm pots is 6 units

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Pinnacle’ is a narrow, upright evergreen shrub with glossy green foliage and a dense, columnar form. It typically reaches 3–4 metres in height and around 1 metre in width, making it ideal for tight spaces, screening, and formal hedging. The foliage is fine-textured and maintains its colour year-round, offering a tidy and modern appearance.

In Melbourne and Adelaide, it thrives in full sun to part shade and handles a range of soil types, provided they are well-draining. These cooler climates suit its moderate growth rate and drought tolerance once established. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and protect roots during dry summer spells.

In Sydney and Brisbane, ‘Pinnacle’ performs well with additional summer watering during extended dry periods. It appreciates protection from strong coastal winds but generally handles humidity well. It may need more regular watering in subtropical conditions, especially in its first year.

To keep a dense and tidy shape, lightly prune in early spring or late summer. Apply a slow-release fertiliser annually. Its neat habit makes it perfect for modern landscapes, driveways, or as a privacy screen in any of these Australian cities.
