Prune It Your Way! The Adaptable Podocarpus
The Podocarpus is a low-maintenance plant with soft, green foliage and hardy nature. Easily pruned, you can decide whether it will grow as a large shrub or a small tree! Amongst the foliage, the plant also produces blue female cones that turn into blue berries that attract birds in the summer.
Part of the Podocarpus genus, it’s often mistaken for a yew due to its needle-like leaves, berries, and name. The Podocarpus is a highly adaptable tree that can survive many conditions and requires minimal maintenance.
Perhaps the most significant feature of the Podocarpus is how naturally it takes to pruning. Most gardeners grow the plant as a hedge, thanks to its dense growth. It works well as a windbreak, privacy hedge, and border between properties.
The Podocarpus also works well in containers and small spaces as a tall accent, since it has a narrow root system. If left untrimmed, the plant naturally has a pointed shape and upright branch growth. With enough room, it can even appear spruce-like.

They a strong and green.
I was scared they’d die. I tried to start and additional 6 some years ago and they all died. Got the nerve again this year since I was starting them so early I. The spring and I went with fastgrowingtrees cause I figured if they died I could try again by having them replaced. Great news! We are a couple of weeks out and they look marvelous! Just as great, if not better than when I unboxed them. Not a single sign of distress. I’m very optimistic.
