Versatile hedge plants like Ficus tuffi and Pittosporum Crassifolium are perfect for boundary edging and screens
Using boundary and screen hedges in your landscaping design provides increased privacy and security with natural fences. These border and privacy plants also provide visual appeal and structure to your landscape by defining areas and creating pathways. Additionally, boundary and screen plantings are effective windbreaks, protecting your more delicate plants from strong winds and helping maintain a microclimate.
One excellent hedge plant is Ficus tuffi. This plant has lush foliage that can be creatively shaped to soften and add interest to your outdoor spaces. Pittosporum Crassifolium, commonly called Karo, is a bushy small tree that is native to New Zealand and has greyish oval leaves with clusters of small dark red flowers.

Similar in nature, boundary hedging and screening have subtle differences. A screen is typically less formal in design and used to hide unsightly areas, create privacy or a windbreak. Where a hedge is a dense block of foliage, a screen is often individual plants that require less maintenance, perhaps only minor trimming throughout the year. One such screening option is a row of Ficus Tuffi, pleached halfway down the bottom. We grow other versatile plants for these purposes, including Podocarpus species and fast-growing evergreens.
Boundary hedges or border plants can be used to fence a property perimeter and stop people from looking in. With thicker foliage planted tightly together, these plants are beneficial for home security as the plants grow tall. The Camellia is particularly popular and commonly used in hedging. These flowering varieties are excellent as borders but also provide aesthetic value with stunning blooms in Spring.
