Q.Pittosporum Hedges, Lots Of Dense Twigs With No Leaves Near Centre, With Leaves Just On The End Of The Outer Branches

Zone Melbourne Australia | KarenGynes added on September 8, 2020 | Answered

Do I cut it back to the main branch, or do I try and remove the dense twigs near the centre, keeping the few leaves on the hedge? No disease or pests noticed.

These shrubs need annual pruning to look their best. They tolerate very heavy pruning, so don't be afraid to go heavy with the shears! This article will help you to care for the shrub:
