Description
Pittosporum tobira 'Nanum' is a compact variety of Japanese Pittosporum, with evergreen, thick and glossy green foliage. Its flowering of white bell-shaped flowers, with a fragrance of orange blossom, is more irregular than the species. Its foliage resists sea spray, making it the perfect choice for creating low evergreen hedges in coastal areas.
Pittosporum tobira is native to Japan and belongs to the Pittosporaceae family. The 'Nanum' variety, derived from this slow-growing shrub species, is distinguished by its particularly small size, which does not exceed 1 m (3.3 ft) in height. Bushy, compact and evergreen, it bears dark green leaves, which are alternate, entire, ovate, thick and shiny, and measure 5 cm (2 in) long. The bell-shaped flowers are white, or yellow-green, and are highly fragrant. They measure 3 cm (1.2 in) in diameter, and appear in small terminal umbels on the foliage in May.
Hardy up to -7° C (19.4° F), Pittosporum tobira 'Nanum' requires a fertile, dry, well-drained and not too chalky soil. It prefers a warm, sunny position, protected from prevailing winds. In areas with cold winter climates, grow it in a pot. Prune in spring to maintain a uniform habit and remove dead or diseased wood. It can withstand severe pruning if necessary.
Pittosporum tobira 'Nanum' can be planted in rockeries, borders or in containers on a terrace to enjoy its delicate fragrance.
Tips : Provide good organic fertiliser every year for better flowering. In pots, pruning is almost unnecessary.

Planting and care
Plant Pittosporum tobira 'Nanum' in spring in a fertile, dry and well-drained soil. Hardy to -7° C (19.4° F), choose a warm location, in full sun and sheltered from prevailing winds. Mulch the base immediately. Plant it along a south-facing wall in regions with harsh winters. Under a cooler climate, cover it with a winter cover or shelter it in a frost-free conservatory for the winter. To help it branch out during the first years of planting, pinch out the young shoots. In mature plants, trim the branches that appear unruly at the end of the season. It can be shaped into a ball or a hedge. Apply good organic fertiliser every year for better flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
