Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most common evergreen plants for privacy?
New Zealand’s commercial landscapes are defined by several standout evergreen species that have proven reliable across diverse conditions. For screening and boundary definitions,
Pittosporum varieties remain the commercial standard evergreen ornamental trees in NZ due to their dense growth habits andmodest maintenance requirements. Prunus lusitanica(Portugal Laurel) and Griselinia littoralis ‘Broadway Mint’ continue as favourites for medium-height hedges.
For smaller commercial spaces, the adaptable Camellia sasanqua ‘Setsugekka’ and other family cultivars offer compact evergreen structures with seasonal flowering interest.
At Leafland, we do our best to maintain a substantial inventory of these proven performers, specifically sized for immediate impact in commercial settings.
What is the fastest-growing evergreen tree?
The Cupressus ovensii (Oven’s Cypress) is widely recognised as one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing evergreens. Under ideal conditions, it can grow up to 1 metre annually, making it particularly valuable for rural properties requiring quick privacy screens or windbreaks.
Our commercial clients often select from fast-growing options like Kunzea robusta (Kānuka), Griselinia littoralis ‘Broadway Mint’ or Pittosporum varieties (e.g. Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Wrinkle Blue’).
Can you recommend evergreen trees that require minimal maintenance?
Several resilient evergreen specimen trees in NZ stand out in our inventory for their self-sufficiency and reliability. For example, the native Cordyline australis needs virtually no pruning beyond occasional removal of dead lower leaves, while the Alectryon excelsus provides an attractive foliage and structural form, requiring minimal shaping.
Introduced exotic options like the Quercus ilex deliver exceptional durability and tolerance for coastal conditions and urban pollution, making it a standout choice for civic projects
