Podocarpus, also called Japanese Yew or Maki, is a versatile evergreen shrub perfect for creating dense privacy hedges and landscape screens. This slow-growing plant reaches 10-20' tall and 6-8' wide at maturity, making it ideal for establishing natural barriers and windbreaks.

Extremely low-maintenance, Podocarpus thrives in full sun to shade and is naturally drought-resistant and salt-tolerant once established. Female plants produce decorative chalky blue berries. Water generously after transplanting to ensure strong root development.

Hardy in zones 8-11, this landscape staple adapts well to various soil conditions and requires minimal pruning to maintain shape.
