Podocarpus macrophyllus

Podocarpus macrophyllus, commonly known as the Yew Pine or Buddhist Pine, is an elegant evergreen conifer admired for its dark-green, needle-like leaves. Its upright, columnar form adds a distinguished architectural element.

It thrives in a well-drained soil and favours full sun to partial shade. Once established, it is quite drought tolerant.

Podocarpus macrophyllus makes a striking specimen tree. Its dense growth is also ideal for creating tall screens or hedges, adding privacy without compromising on visual appeal.

It can reach an impressive height of 10-12 metres at maturity, depending on the growing conditions. It can be easily pruned to maintain a smaller size and a neat, columnar shape, fitting your garden's requirements.
