But before you rush out and buy one, let&#8217;s delve into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\"> <a href=\"http:\/\/monsteraholic.com\/256-species-of-genus-pittosporum\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"56080\">256 Species in Genus Pittosporum<\/a><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Pittosporum Undulatum?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pittosporum Undulatum belongs to the Pittosporaceae family. It&#8217;s a versatile plant that can thrive as a shrub or a small tree, reaching heights of up to 15 meters (49 feet) in its natural habitat. However, cultivated varieties tend to be smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most striking characteristic of Pittosporum Undulatum is its foliage. The leaves are evergreen, meaning they stay green year-round. They have a lanceolate (lance-shaped) form with wavy, undulating margins \u2013 hence the name. This creates a textural contrast and adds visual interest to your landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the beauty doesn&#8217;t stop there. In spring or early summer, Pittosporum Undulatum bursts into bloom. The flowers are small, bell-shaped, and boast a creamy-white color. They often come in clusters, adding a touch of elegance and fragrance to your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the flowers fade, the plant produces another eye-catching element: <a href=\"http:\/\/monsteraholic.com\/plant-faqs-orange-tree\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"31154\">orange<\/a>, woody fruits. These small, round fruits (about 1 centimeter in diameter) remain on the plant for several months, providing additional visual interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pittosporum Undulatum vs. Mock Orange: What&#8217;s the Difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pittosporum Undulatum is sometimes referred to as mock orange due to the superficial resemblance of their flowers.
