Australian cheesewood
Pittosporum undulatum
Australian cheesewood is a hardy, low-maintenance evergreen shrub or small tree that thrives in full sun with well-draining soil. Water moderately, allowing the soil to partially dry between sessions, and it will tolerate brief dry spells once established. Prune after flowering to maintain shape and prevent it from becoming too large in the garden.
