Podocarpus - A Dazzling Evergreen
The Podocarpus is sometimes referred to as the Chinese Yew or the "Pine of the Buddhists", but regardless of what you call it, it’s a distinctive and beautiful conversation piece that will brighten up any room you put it in.
Podocarpus are a dazzling dense Evergreen with thin, leathery, dark-green leaves arranged on stiff, symmetrical branches. They tend to be slow-growing indoors and they’re tremendously easy to care for in general, making them a perfect Bonsai for beginners.
This particular variety also fruits in the Spring by means of self-pollinating ~ it has both male flowers in cones and female flowers composed of cylindrical thickened scales (not that there's anything wrong with that).
The fruit are brightly colored and a little bizarre looking, but they’re also edible which makes this Bonsai a perfect balance of form and function. The Podocarpus is truly captivating and you’ll be absolutely thrilled to own one.
