ALECTRYON EXCELSA - TITOKI

This is one of the most widely used NZ natives. Mature leaves are a clean and crisp mid-green whilst new growth is a paler green with rusty tones which makes Titoki a fresh looking semi-tropical/Pacifica tree. Titoki form into an attractive round-headed tree that can be left to grow to form or trimmed to suit the application.

This is a tree that trims very well. Titoki can be trimmed as a single specimen to a desired height or they also trim very well as a clipped or pleached hedge. Ideally plant Titoki at 1 to 2m centres depending on the ultimate height the hedge will be trimmed to. The planted centres need to be similar to the trimmed width.
