Podocarpus macrophyllus

Topiary Podocarpus Yew is a timeless evergreen prized for its rich green foliage and graceful, refined form. Though not a true yew, Podocarpus offers a similar look with softer, more elongated leaves that create a lush, elegant texture. Carefully trained into a topiary shape, this plant provides strong architectural interest while maintaining a natural, approachable appearance. Its upright growth habit makes it ideal for framing entrances, lining walkways, or serving as a statement piece in containers.

One of the standout qualities of Podocarpus Yew is its adaptability. It performs well in a variety of landscape styles, from formal gardens to modern outdoor spaces, and tolerates pruning exceptionally well. With proper care, it maintains its sculpted form year-round, offering dependable color and structure in all seasons. Its durability and low-maintenance nature make it a favorite for both residential and commercial landscapes seeking long-lasting visual impact.
