Default Help

Hi All, I would like to have a tree identified - which I think is a noxious one. So here goes for the description: dark green leaves, which always have lumps and bumps on them with some form of bugs, pretty cream/white small flowers in spring - and perfumed, then the orange berries. The tree self-seeds very easily. HATE IT. Please can you help.

At a guess with your description its Pittosporum undulatum weedy not noxious many like many don't. Its mostly harmless unless you become over whelmed by it.

Sure sounds like Pittosporum undulatum.

I hate them as well, they pop up anywhere like privet. Lots of better trees/shrubs to have.

Dear derwoodii,

Thanks so much - that's the one - pittosporum - looked at the fact sheet and the accompanying photos - spot on.
