Pittosporum Size Question

Does anyone know how big Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Warnham Gold' eventually get? Regards Mike Gilmore WinsfordWalledGarden, SW England, USDA Zone9a


I should think no more than about 10-12'. My 'Garnettii' tops out at about that and most of the other variegated or goldleaf forms remain in that range unless specifically dwarfed forms.

I've seen them as tall and wide as 12 feet. I have one which is about 4 years old and it is 6 tall and wide.

Thanks to both replies. 12' will be perfect for my situation. I have been delighted with the lovely yellow winter foliage of an existing specimen and did wonder just how big it would eventually develop so I can get another! I have about a dozen varieties now and, to my mind Pittosporums generally are something of an under-valued plant. Close-up, the variegated detail on many is something of a wonder to me.
