Podocarpus lawrencei ‘Blue Gem’ 

From Tasmania, this specimen is both hardy & exotic. It has thick, blunt foliage like that of a conifer, but instead of cones, it produces lush, red “mountain plums.” Arching branches create a rounded, spreading form, and spring growth emerges purple-red, then matures to green, a color that holds through winter. The adaptable, easy plant is an excellent candidate for drier garden sites. Has a globe shaped growth habit & reaches roughly 4’ tall by 6’ wide in size, growing 3” to 6” a year.

Podocarpus nivalis ‘Jalako Red’

Its short wide needles with pointed tips are spirally arranged on stiff shoots. Noted for its unique seasonal color transformation; dark green foliage in summer changing to a deep red wine color in winter. Small & compact, yet sturdy branching makes this a useful durable color accent in the shrub border or container garden. Has a globe-shaped growth habit & reaches roughly 2’ tall by 3’ wide in size.

Podocarpus x ‘Red Tip’

In late summer, the short, thin, yew-like foliage of this slow-growing specimen puts on a flush of deep red that holds through winter. The rest of the year, rich, deep-green foliage spirals up the plant’s short stems. It makes a charming, spreading addition to smaller, warmer, drier sites. Has a globe shaped growth habit & reaches roughly 2’ tall by 3’ wide in size, growing 2” to 4” a year.
