Lemonwood tree (variegated)

Pittosporum eugenioides "Variegatum" or Variegated Tarata Pittosporum.

Moderate growing evergreen shrub to 10ft with equal spread. Slower growing than non-variegated. Forms a nice hedge by shearing to 5-8 ft. Fragrant, yellow flowers open in spring on unpruned plants. Foliage color is yellow green to medium green with cream colored margins. Best grown in full sun to part shade. Water regularly until established. Fertilize in spring with a complete fertilizer. Tolerates considerable shearing.



5-gallon size from East Bay Nursery: $50.
