Pittosporum tenuifolium Mean Screen

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Mean Screen’ — Tall Narrow Privacy Screen

Pittosporum tenuifolium ‘Mean Screen’ is a purpose-bred screening shrub designed to grow tall while staying narrow, making it ideal for modern blocks and tight boundary lines. It forms a dense upright column of soft green foliage along dark stems, giving a refined, architectural look without becoming bulky. Its naturally vertical habit means less trimming is needed to maintain a clean, straight hedge.
