Pittosporum eugenioides (Tarata)

Pittosporum eugenioides, commonly known as Tarata, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to New Zealand. It has a dense, rounded crown with glossy, dark green leaves that are leathery in texture. In spring, clusters of small, fragrant, yellow flowers appear, followed by small red fruits. Tarata is a popular choice for hedges, screens, and windbreaks due to its dense foliage and ability to tolerate coastal conditions.
