Griselinia Littoralis The Mother Of All Hedges
Griselinia Littoralis is an extremely old variety of hedge and is actually named after the well known botanist Franc Grisilini. Many people are well aware of this hedge type but few actually know its benefits. Found around the many coastlines of NZ it is pretty much considered a coastal plant here among locals. Its extreme and insatiable love of sandy soils and salty ocean air enable it to grow to epic proportions when the right conditions are met making it a very popular choice for many kiwis.
What Is The Difference ?
The main difference between Griselinia Littoralis and the many other varieties that can be found on our shores is its slightly darker green colour and a flatter leaf which is very noticeable when comparing it with the other species of the same genome. Whilst the darker, more forest green of the Littoralis may not have a broad range of appeal to our younger clients, some people actually prefer the look and shape of the darker green hue offered by Griselinia Littoralis hedges.
A Big Colour Contrast
When strategically planted or installed against black stained fences, darker coloured houses and bright coloured sheds and garages. It really does offer an instant touch of class and style to whatever property it is planted on as opposed to the many other hedging plant options that are available to the wider general public.
Griselinia Littoralis – An Easy Choice For Most Homeowners
Generally when we show our prospective clients/customers the varying choices they have, nine times out of ten they are almost instantly drawn to the unique look and aesthetic features of Griselinia Littoralis. This makes choosing a hedge variety very quick and easy for our potential customers as many people get confused over which one might look best due to the sheer number of choices that are presently available on the market in these modern times.
The Longer Lasting Hedge
This also saves us time when they select Griselinia Littoralis as the hedge variety they want to have planted. As far as longevity goes Griselinia Littoralis is without a doubt at all one of the hardiest hedges that you can plant with some even making it past the exclusive one hundred year mark. A feat that evades many hedge species. We have seen pictures of them well over ten meters in height which is an awe inspiring sight when you cast your eye over them for the very first time.
Privacy Helps Reduce Crime
Unfortunately crime is currently running rife in the Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga and Rotorua regions of New Zealand. New properties that do not have Griselinia Littoralis planted are easier to see into for the most part. Anyone walking past one of these properties can easily see down the sides of the house and backyard where homeowners keep their possessions. This full range of vision is a burglars or thiefs dream situation when it comes to scoping out a home to enter and rob.
New Builds Have The Worst Privacy
With the many new properties that are being built in these areas they are often lacking the most basic privacy screening. New builds are now being built so close to each other due to new and more relaxed regulations around the resource management act that people often move into these new homes only to discover that their nextdoor neighbours can see directly into their bedrooms, bathrooms, kids rooms and living areas making the occupants feel like they are living in a fishbowl.
A Griselinia Littoralis hedge can quickly remedy this in as little as twelve months after planting which is a total godsend to many of these affected property owners who have often been dealing with a lack of privacy for some time.
Got A New Build Starting Next Door ?
Another perfect situation where Griselinia Littoralis really comes into its own is the situation where a new two or even three story building starts getting built next door. For someone who has been living in their property for some time, having construction like this commence next door can be completely overwhelming and in some situations can even be responsible for their listing their property for sale and moving to somewhere more private as that is what they are use to.
Dont Get Mad – Get Even
Many of these people are too stressed about this new construction to even consider the huge benefits of not only privacy but the soundproofing abilities that Griselinia Littoralis has to offer. By simply planting this variety of hedge it can quickly turn the situation around to a positive one.
Griselinia Littoralis Neighbour Envy
Quite often we will plant Griselinia Littoralis for a customer for say a front roadside boundary or along a back fence. They are usually so thrilled with the results achieved that they get us back to install the same around other parts of their property as they can afford to do one step at a time. Many neighbours also notice the new planting of Grisilinia Littoralis and will often reach out to our client to ask for our contact details as they wish to get one planted on their own property for the very same reason.
Its All About The Kids
Another great reason to plant this variety around your backyard can be to protect your little ones from being seen playing in your backyard while they are playing on the trampoline or in the sand pit. Blocking out the view to your backyard to the general public will not only make it substantially more private, it heightens security tenfold as well. Griselina Littoralis is one of the best options for achieving this and will give you the valued privacy you desire in the least amount of time possible.
Essential Advice For Fast Healthy Growth
So you have just had us plant your new griselinia hedging and it looks great but did you know that there are some vital things you can do to make your griselinia hedging grow even faster and healthier ? Well read on as these 4 simple tips will have your Griselinia bursting with growth.
- Tipping Every 6 Weeks – Griselinia Hedging naturally releases small amounts of growth hormone in order to grow. This however can be manipulated to your advantage by doing the following. Every 6 weeks find the tallest branch on each Griselinia and take 2-3cm off it. Repeat this on every plant. This will stimulate the growth hormone making your hedge thicken up.
- Compost Food – When we plant your Griselinia we add slow release fertiliser before planting which will give them a good balance of chemical nutrients for around 12 months however most soils we see desperately need some organic matter added to get some good bacteria and organic nutrients down into the soil. Spreading a good quality compost underneath your griselinia for sale will do just this by slowly working these much needed goodies down into your soil. We only use and highly recommend Daltons compost due to its superior quality ingredients and its low price.
- Mulch – This is a biggie. Griselinia hedging truely loves mulch. Mulch helps protect roots close to the surface from high temperatures and moisture loss. It also filters down vital micro-nutrients into the soil. Mulch can even be used to revitalize old griselinia plants that look like they are dying.
- Water – During the summer months you should be watering your Griselinia hedge plants every 3 days for 20 minutes. In extreme heat every 2 days for 20 minutes. Don’t be fooled by rain either as you can often go outside after even a day of heavy rain and dig into your garden only to find dry soil.
