Allotments 4 All

I think this is a Pittosporum, though I've lost the label so not sure of the name? It's so covered in flowers although you don't notice them until you get quite close. Do they fruit? It must be about 5' now, I've never pruned it though.

Yep..that is..
Mine does flower every year but I haven't seen/noticed any fruit developing on it at all.
I prune mine every year as it is planted into bit 'squeezed' position..it don't seem to mind being chopped. I only do it once a year in late spring and let the new growth to mature and harden off so it can take the winter cold.
I must remember to have a look for info about its natural reproduction habits..

Looks like it can seed in UK..and no need more than just one shrub neither

Oooh, a new way to fish!
Cheers for the info, I had a closer look I think mine's more 6' or just over, shapes not too bad so I might just leave it get on with it.

By coincidence this very morning I collected a jar of seeds from one of the Pittosporums in the garden. The plant is currently in flower as well so presume the seeds must be from last years flowers. Next thing is to find out if they are fertile - so if anyone knows the growing technique please?
