Description	Pittosporum tenuifolium  Pittosporum Golf Ball is a low dense hedge you can trim as a topiary. It can be described as "the plant that trims itself", as it keeps its compact rounded shape and doesn't get too big. Golf Ball pittosporums feature bright mint-green glossy leaves with small, inconspicuous chocolate-purple flowers. Prefers a full sun to part shade position.	Luma apiculata Myrtus Luma is the medium to tall hedge with real traditional style. A lot of people believe the only fast growing larger hedge with fine foliage is the Pittosporum. It is an extraordinarily versatile plant suitable for hedging, screening, topiary, or as a specimen tree, but its small, aromatic leaves respond so well to pruning that it is commonly used as a hedge. Myrtus luma also makes a wonderful specimen tree if left unpruned. With age it forms an outstanding trunk with cinnamon brown branches. Its bark peels to reveal streaks of pink and beige. What a plant! It really should be seen more in Australian gardens.
