Thumbing through the 500-page Forest Farm Catalog (my resolution
to NOT acquire any new trees may not last long!) I run across
Podocarpus totara from N.Z. The book says the trunk was once
used for canoes up to 80 feet long, but it also says it makes a
good hedge plant and has ONE INCH needles.

Are any of you New Zealanders familiar with this one?

There's also a dwarf Taxodium distichum (bald cypress) taken from
a witch's broom that they say grows wider than tall.

Hoping that my resolve lasts the weekend . . . ;-)
