Golf Ball Pittosporum
Pittosporum Tenuifolium 'Golf Ball'
This plant died!
The north facing side of the shrub died due to frost. What a bummer, I love this shrub! Sadly I removed it, and will think twice about planting shrubs that are only hardy into zone 8.
Gardener's Log
10/2021: Planted near pieris tree along path from dirt room/by wood deck stairs
I’ve seen this beautiful little shrub at a few arboretums (arboreta?), and finally bought one for our garden. I moved it around the yard maybe 4 or 5 times before deciding on a spot in the back. I really wanted to put it in a place I could see it (front yard? front sidewalk?) but ultimately decided it looks spectacular among the yellow grasses and next to the purple-red ligularia and Everred rododendron.
