Pittosporum 'Green Geno' (Green Geno Pitt) - Upright growing shrub with 2 ½ inch long by 1 inch wide mid green leaves with a wavy margins and slightly gray glaucus surface coating. Ultimate size is not yet known but this appears to eventually grow to be a large shrub that is much taller than wide. Plant in full to part sun and irrigate occasionally. Hardiness is unknown but likely similar to the one known parent species Pittosporum tenuifolium, which is hardy to 15-20° F. Pittosporum 'Green Geno' was a plant selected in 2020 out of our 15 gallon seedling Pittosporum tenuifolium crop by shipping manager Gene Leisch after he noted it looked quite different from the rest of the crop with larger and broader leaves that had a slight gray cast. The seed used for this crop was purchased from Mistletoe Carter Seed in 2016 and our best guess is that it is the result of hybridization between Pittosporum tenuifolium and Pittosporum crassifolium. Our fist grown crop is from cuttings taken from this plant and we named it 'Green Geno' in 2021.
Information displayed on this page about Pittosporum 'Green Geno' is based on the research conducted about it in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it grows in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how crops have performed in our nursery field. We will incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
