Formosan Fingers™ Pittosporum
Pittosporum illiciodes 'MonToroko'
SKU
09083
An excellent, compact selection made by Dan Hinkley, this rare, evergreen species was discovered in Taiwan. This upright shrub is clad with remarkably long and narrow eight-inch leaves on a moderately sized framework, resulting in an elegant, weeping effect. Slightly fragrant creamy white flowers in spring result in resplendent crops of orange-red berries in autumn.
