The Yew Podocarpus is an incredibly low-maintenance plant with green foliage that resembles pine needles but is soft to the touch. Known for its ease of pruning, you can grow it as large as a shrub or a small tree! However, despite its name, the Yew Podocarpus is not a true yew. It is a member of the Podocarpus genus, but the Yew Podocarpus has often been mistaken for the yew genus Taxus because of its similar needle-like leaves and berries. Its vibrant green foliage makes the Yew Podocarpus a statement in any yard. The blue female cones of the shrubs eventually turn into blue berries that birds and wildlife love in the summertime. (But be warned, these are not safe to eat.) Perhaps its best feature, though, is how naturally it takes to pruning. The Yew Podocarpus can be pruned into just about any shape, even as small as a bonsai or large as a narrow tree or wide shrub. It’s best known as an adaptable and low-maintenance plant making it great for an experience level. You can even grow the plant as a privacy hedge or border between properties. Thanks to a small root system, they can grow in the narrowest of spaces, and in containers. As a tough, adaptable plant, capable of surviving in a variety of sites, the Yew Podocarpus really is great in any condition. If you’re looking for an east-to-grow, versatile plant that will thrive in your garden, look no further than the Yew Podocarpus. Order yours today! Show more
