Weeping Podocarpus
Weeping Podocarpus (Podocarpus macrophyllus var. angustifolius) is an evergreen shrub or small tree known for its narrow, arching foliage and soft, weeping form. It is commonly used as a specimen plant, screen, hedge, or accent where a refined, upright look is desired, and it performs reliably in a range of landscape settings.
