This Pittosporum sits in South Norwood, London, these pictures were taken early March. Deliberately planted, the evergreen provides ornamental value to its surroundings. These ornamental qualities are heightened in the Spring and Summer, when they can be found to have purple flowers.
The Pittosporum is tolerant to both shade and sunlight and thrive in moist but well drained soils.
This particular shrub I found was pruned to keep a dome shape, and to maintain a reasonable height within its setting. However, if left, the Pittosporum can reach heights of up to 8m.
