Wholesale Growers of Podocarpus Plants
Podocarpus
is one of the best plants for a hedge anywhere from Coral Gables to the palm
beaches. Podocarpus is one of the most popular hedging plants in the South
Florida area, and for good reason this plant is bug and pest resistant. Also
known as a Japanese yew, podocarpus maki or Buddhist pine, Podocarpus is a
fast-growing evergreen shrub that provides beautiful color and shade year-round
as well as providing amazing privacy for a perfect privacy hedge. Although
these plants can reach heights of as much as 30 to 40 feet, they are easily
kept at your desired height with regular trimming that will also make the plant
grow sideways and get bushier. Podocarpus has abundant, bright green, flat and
sword-shaped leaves that grow very close together to provide a nice tight
hedge. Podocarpus is incredibly useful for a perfect and beautiful looking
privacy hedge. Left alone it will grow into a tall, fence like tree that looks
gorgeous and offers privacy. Although it can be shaped or trimmed into
topiaries, Podocarpus is most often used as a green screen or formal hedge for
privacy or for decoration. Podocarpus hedges are ideal for bright, sunny
backyards, gardens and pool enclosures but they also do great in shade and grow
gorgeous in our south florida soil. Podocarpus can tolerate some shade, but
grows faster and is more colorful in direct sun, also grows at a faster rate
when in direct sunlight. Podocarpus will thrive in almost any well-drained
soil, but it doesn’t like wet soil, so avoid over watering. Podocarpus is
disease, pest, drought and salt resistant making it an iconic hedge. Podocarpus
is a very nice hedge that offers a lot of privacy and looks amazing.
