Podocarpus henkelii is an attractive ornamental tree, easily distinguished by its long, slender, blue-green, drooping leaves. It has a straight, well-formed trunk and naturally assumes a pyramid shape as it grows, eventually reaching 40′ tall. It’s frequently grown in gardens for its neat, attractive form and decorative foliage. As an incredibly long-lived plant, it can be pruned to change its shape. It’s also summer-dry tolerant but prefers moist soil. This is an excellent plant for a privacy screen in Bay Area landscapes.
