Pittosporum crassifolium (Karo)

Pittosporum crassifolium, commonly known as karo, is a tough and reliable choice for hedging and coastal planting across NZ.

Valued for its dense growth and distinctive grey-green foliage with silvery undersides, karo creates a strong, textured look while forming effective shelter and privacy screens. Its natural resilience makes it particularly well suited to exposed and coastal environments.

Widely used in both residential and large-scale landscape projects, Pittosporum crassifolium performs well in challenging conditions, delivering consistent structure with minimal maintenance.
