| Botanical Name | Podocarpus macrophyllus |
| Description | The Japanese Yew (Podocarpus) is a versatile evergreen that performs exceptionally well in the Houston metro area. While it is highly heat-tolerant, its primary value is its ability to maintain a dense, lush appearance in shady locations where other hedges fail. It is adaptable to most soil types, but it is extremely sensitive to poor drainage. It will not tolerate waterlogged clay; for success, plant in well-amended soil or raised beds to ensure the roots do not sit in water during our heavy rain cycles. |
| Exposure | Part Sun to Shade (Protects best from intense afternoon sun) |
| Height x Width | 10-15 ft. Tall x 6-8 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; once established, it is relatively drought tolerant but prefers consistent moisture. |
| Zones | 7 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Highly tolerant of pruning; can be sheared into formal shapes or hedges at any time. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
