How should I shape my pittosporum

pittosporums ever year to. Rounded shape......Irene Patterson, Tom thumb, garnetti. I understand they respond well? I think any geraniums under planted will just grow up and smother pittosporum and still not flower. The purple pittosporum has green new by lennyboy

Evergreen fast growing shrubs

hedge form. The green and red foliage works well too! Pittosporum tenuifolium is a fairly quick growing evergreen that can also be used as hedging - hardy most places unless you live in Altnahara... Hebes, or what about holly? Lovely variegated forms by Neil Mumford

Sanbucus Black Lace

the growth by this method. I find by doing this it also enhances the foliage. If yours is in the ground you can still do this. Sambucus tolerate hard pruning. I love the lemony fragrance of the flowers. HI Polly, Sambucus can grow to 6-8 feet in a year so by PollyM

Evergreen bushes

answer if you can give a little more detail South facing, against position in a sheltered position. An evergreen azalea or rhododendron will happily grow in a large pot whatever the situation. In sun choisya ternatta.....the Mexican orange blossom by Caz8

Front garden very uninteresting

cornus would also be good as they get pruned each spring to grow new stems for the fresh winter colour. Alba Sibirica has the reddest stems. Elegans has variegated foliage and burgundy stems. Midwinter Fire has flame effect stems but can sucker when by Rosa carriola

Japanese area

is not large you won't be wanting any more big shrubs really I shouldn't think, although a favourite plant of mine Pittosporum 'Tresederii' - a Cornish bred plant, has dainty new young growth with small crinkly foliage, a little variegated, that would suit by chrissy in Cornwall
