Pittosporum do make very good hedging plants and respond well to pruning. Some use them instead of box due to the problem with box blight
@p@"Pete.8" I intend to plant a hedge using Pittosporum wrinkled blue. What would you suggest for spacing? They are 3L pots, but quite tall (80cm-100cm). Thanks.
I saw a Pittosporum recently growing in a large pot. It had been crown lifted and the lower stems were a soft grey colour, something I had never noticed before. I looked for a label but couldn't find one sadly.

I don't really know - Pittosporum wrinkled blue isn't a plant I've grown. My Golf Ball only get to about 1m wide and high and mine are almost touching now after 18 months and are planted 1.3m apart. Mine were in 3L pots when I bought them. I'd think about 1m apart would give a decent hedge. If you wanted a thicker hedge plant a bit closer.
