Pittosporum Mean Screen (Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Mean Screen')

Neighbours a little too close? 'Mean Screen' does exactly what its name promises. This fast, dense pittosporum shoots up into a wall of small glossy leaves on dark stems, giving you privacy in a fraction of the time of slower hedging plants, while staying narrow enough for modern blocks.

🌱 Why Gardeners Love Mean Screen

✔ Rapid Privacy - among the fastest ways to screen a fence or window view.

✔ Dense, Fine Foliage - small glossy leaves pack tightly for a solid green wall.

✔ Naturally Upright - a tidy columnar habit that suits narrow spaces.

✔ Evergreen All Year - no winter gaps in your privacy screen.

✔ Easy to Shape - responds beautifully to clipping for a formal finish.

🏡 How to Use Mean Screen in Your Garden

✅ Privacy Screens - block out two-storey neighbours along boundaries.

✅ Formal Hedges - clips into crisp green walls beside paths and pools.

✅ Noise and Wind Buffers - a dense barrier that softens busy streets.

✅ Backdrop Planting - a deep green canvas behind flowering borders.

Easy Planting & Care Guide

  • Position: Full sun to part shade in well-drained soil; best in temperate climates and dislikes waterlogged ground.
  • Spacing: Plant 75cm-1m apart for a dense screen or hedge.
  • Best Planting Time: Autumn or spring so roots establish before extremes.
  • Watering & Care: Water deeply once or twice a week in the first year. Feed in spring with a complete fertiliser and trim once or twice a year to thicken growth.

❔ FAQs About Mean Screen

How fast will it screen?
With water and feeding through the warmer months, expect vigorous growth of up to a metre a year in good conditions, forming a useful screen within a few seasons.

How tall does it get?
Left untrimmed it forms a tall shrub of several metres, but it is easily maintained at your preferred hedge height with regular clipping.

Should I start with tubes or advanced plants?
Tubes are economical for long runs and catch up quickly; the 400mm size gives instant presence for shorter boundaries.
