Podocarpus (Podocarpus macrophyllus), also commonly known as Yew Podocarpus or Buddhist Pine, is a versatile evergreen shrub or small tree widely used in Florida landscapes for hedges, screens, topiary, and foundation plantings. It features narrow, dark green, leathery foliage and a dense, upright growth habit that responds very well to pruning. Podocarpus is prized for its clean appearance, adaptability, and ability to provide year-round structure with minimal maintenance.

Care Needs
• Light: Full sun to part sun
