Great video, shame it doesn't show some of these Pittosporum's established in some borders to give perspective, but appreciate this isn't always possible / requires extra work. In my experience 'Golf Balls' tend to want to grow at least a meter and require pruning once or twice a year if you want to maintain it at 50cm. This is their growth habit at a couple of my clients and a chap I work with has also experienced this.
Yes, we do need to relook at Pittosporums in full growth, and also look at pruning and problems. Agree with you on Golf Ball, in fact most grow well outside the suggest size in good conditions.
According to the ASPCA and University of California some species are toxic and others not. SOME said to be toxic ( they contain saponins) include P.tenuifolium, undulatum and phillyreoides amongst others. HOWEVER, the dog would most likely have to eat the plant. And yes the smaller growing varieties will grow in containers.
Nice display of varieties!
Thanks for that!
great informative video. thanks

I live in southamerica and i've seen pittosporum plants that are about 5-7 meters tall. Is that normal?
Yes some species, varieties can get that tall.
@@johnnyAGardening thanks for the answer!
Is Pittosporum safe for dogs? Can these be planted in large pots and containers?

Lol, whatever a "centimeter" and "meter" is.
