RE: Native Laurel, if only all weeds were this good

in #pittosporum6 years ago

Pittosporum undulatum (Victorian Box) - A large shrub or medium sized tree that can reach to 30-40 feet tall or more with a pyramidal shape but is most often seen maintained as a much lower screen or hedge plant. Attractive dark green leaves have very wavy margins and the fragrant cream-white flowers bloom in profusion in the early spring. Following bloom, small orange berries are produced, which can be a nuisance but also attract birds. Plant in sun or part shade and give deep and infrequent watering – older plants are quite drought tolerant. Established plants hardy to at least 18° F. This is an extremely useful plant as a large attractive hedge and windbreak. We have been told that warblers and mockingbirds are attracted to the fruit and Anna's Hummingbirds to the nectar of the flowers.
