The Podocarpus macrophyllus is a small tree or large shrub that forms a slender column, 20'-30' tall and 14' wide. Its pointed leaves are dark green in color, with a length of 4" needles. This makes a good hedge, screen, or single specimen plant. It can tolerate low light so Yew Pine is used in malls or narrow areas. Flowers are insignificant. It needs regular watering. Foliage is aromatic, if brushed against it.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
