Podocarpus, often called the Japanese Yew, offers clean lines and a sense of order to any landscape. With its upright, evergreen form and soft needle-like leaves, it strikes the perfect balance between traditional and modern aesthetics. Its rich green color remains vibrant year-round, giving your garden or patio a polished and composed feel.
Provide full sun to partial shade and plant in well-draining soil. Water deeply once or twice a week until established, then reduce frequency as roots mature. Podocarpus is salt-tolerant and can handle a variety of soils, making it perfect for coastal or urban settings.
Trim lightly to maintain your preferred shape or height. Fertilize once or twice a year in spring and summer with a balanced slow-release blend. Avoid overwatering — it’s happier on the drier side once mature.
Perfect for formal hedges, privacy screens, or elegant potted accents. The Podocarpus adds timeless sophistication to patios and entryways, pairing beautifully with ferns or palms for layered greenery.
Loosen soil well before planting and ensure good drainage. For containers, mix potting soil with sand or perlite. Set the plant at the same depth as it was in its nursery pot.
Prune yearly to control size and promote fuller growth. Monitor for scale insects and treat early if spotted. Refresh the mulch layer annually to maintain soil moisture.
