[IBC] NZ Podocarpus
Thanks, Kev.
I see from the sheet that they're described as moderately fast
growers. I think I'm going to order a couple (unless I can find
them around here) and put them out in the yard for about 5 years
(1-gal. mail order trees are too small for bonsai -- even for
me). Apparently, they are cultivated for hedge and windbreak
planting in NZ.

I picked up a couple of Podocarpus totara from a nursery that
was
closing down last summer. I didn't know much about them but was
attracted by their Yew like foliage (and the price:-). There's
a small
amount of info on them here
