Podocarpus macrophyllus (espalier form) is an evergreen shrub trained into a flat, structured growth pattern against a support. It is valued for its dense, fine-textured foliage and clean, architectural appearance, making it ideal for screens, walls, and formal landscape designs where space-saving greenery and structure are desired.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Regular pruning required to maintain espalier shape and structure
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth
