separating podocarpus plants
Comments (0)I bought some podocarpus macrophyllus "maki" plants and there are 7 or 8 trees in each pot. I intend to use them for espalier trees. Should I separate the individual plants and only use 1 for each espalier project, or can they just be used all together? Thanks for any help....See MorePodocarpus forrestii
Comments (8)I have 2 clones here. 1 is from Trompenburg. It actually does well outside in Atlanta (zone 7 - though protected by building). Mine looks good after lows of 18F, whereas P. neriifolius and P. costalis both have major foliage burn....See MorePhotos: Are they flowering Podocarpus macrophylla?
Comments (7)The plant in Panama is actually related to Oleanders, and is Thevetia peruviana, or Yellow Oleander. It is also grown in hotter parts of southern California,(especially in the low desert), and south Florida, but does not like frost or cool summer weather as along the California coast. Podocarpus species do not have showy flowers per se, but instead are more notable for forming fleshy fruits if both male and female trees are present. They don't usually fruit in northern California, but the commonly grown Podocarpus gracilior can be quite messy in fruit in southern California. With great age, both P. gracilior and P. mcarophyllus become forest giants, but are also slow enough growing to be used as foundation shrubs in residential landscapes. Unfortunately they are too often planted right next to house walls and below roof overhangs, where they need to be butchered to prevent outgrowing their spot....See Morepodocarpus gracilior vs p.
