Kept pruned it makes a screen 1.3m to 3m high and only 0.9m to 1.6m wide, and unpruned it grows much taller. Bred by Ozbreed for a green fence line that does not need clipping every few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrows up, not out.\u003c\/strong\u003e This fastigiate form puts its growth into height, so you get a tall, quick screen on a slender footprint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLess clipping.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ozbreed says it thrives with less intervention than regular viburnum hedges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDense in sun, relaxed in shade.\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun gives a dense screen.

Stock comes from Ozbreed's licensed growers and is grown to order at times, so a pot size can show as backorder, and the tube shows as sold out until our grower lists it again. Order a backorder size and we confirm timing with you before anything ships. Tubes are the value choice for a long screen, and the 200mm plants give a taller start. It is a recent release and growers are still building stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
