Pringles or Dwarf Podocarpus is a major hit in south florida when it comes to
ornamental plants. For many reasons this plant has taken the palm beaches all
the way down to the florida keys by storm. The Podocarpus Pringles or “Dwarf
Podocarpus” or more commonly known as the podocarpus pringles is a very
sustainable hedge that looks great and it is easy to maintain. Having thicker
greener leaves than its relative the podocarpus maki, it is more durable and
doesn’t grow as big as it is mostly used for a ground cover. A great advantage
to the podocarpus pringles is how much it loves the south florida weather and
also the south florida soil. Being drought tolerant is a great advantage this
plant posseses in comparison to other hedges. This great ornamental hedge plant
can be used as a specimen, a gorgeous privacy hedge or a privacy screen to keep
people from looking in your yard but it cannot used for a tall privay hedge as
it doesn’t grow very tall, it is mostly a ground cover. It is a nice thick
green hedge that is easy to maintain and very resistant to damage. Also
referred to as a podocarpus pringles not to be confused with podocarpus Yew

podocarpus dwarf you will not have to worry about any bug or incest problems as
they are completely bug free, this offers a great alternative to the ficus.
