Description

The Podocarpus macrophyllus is a small tree or large shrub that forms a slender column, 15'-50' tall and 6'-15' wide. Its pointed, narrow leaves are dark green in color, about 4" long. It makes a great hedge, screen or single specimen plant. It tolerates low light so Yew Pine is used in malls or narrow areas. Flowers are insignificant. It needs regular watering. Foliage is aromatic, if brushed against it.

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Choose organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust.
