Podocarpus is a tall tree with a dense, upright crown. It’s densely packed with thin, uniform green leaves reminiscent of bamboo leaves or pine needles. Flowers and fruit are inconspicuous. The growth rate is fast! Keep trimmed to prevent utility obstruction. Trimming and hedging are the only maintenance issues with podocarpus. Podocarpus will grow into a thick, impenetrable, green wall with regular trimming. Propagation is by seed or vegetative cuttings.
