Pittosporum Screenmaster - Instant Hedging
Notify MeThis grade of Pittosporum Screenmaster offers an immediate and elegant solution for those seeking a lush, natural privacy screen or border without the long wait typically associated with growing a hedge. Each segment of 1 metre in length comprises two meticulously trimmed plants, each standing at a height of 1.4 metres. This ensures a robust and uniform appearance right from the start.
A key feature of the Pittosporum Screenmaster is its small, silvery-green leaves that possess a unique, slightly wrinkled texture. These leaves are set against dark, upright stems, creating a visually appealing contrast that enhances any landscape. The shrub's evergreen nature ensures that it retains its beauty and privacy capabilities year-round, irrespective of the season.
Screenmaster is an ideal choice for creating hedges and screens in both residential and commercial settings due to its rapid growth and density.
Trimming: Trim Pittosporum 'Screen Master' in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage dense growth. Regular light pruning throughout the growing season can help maintain its form as a hedge or screen.
Fertilising: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support vigorous growth. A second application in mid-summer can help if the plant shows signs of nutrient deficiency.
Watering: Water regularly during the establishment phase to keep the soil evenly moist. Once established, Pittosporum 'Screen Master' is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during extended dry periods.
Pest Control: Watch for common pests such as aphids, scale insects, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Regularly inspect the plant, especially the undersides of leaves, for early signs of pests.
Disease Management: Pittosporum 'Screen Master' is generally disease-resistant. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal issues. Avoid waterlogging by ensuring proper soil drainage. If you notice signs of fungal diseases, such as leaf spots or powdery mildew, remove affected parts and treat with a suitable fungicide.
