    Podocarpus (Podocarpus macrophyllus) is an Asian species of yew that can be sheared into hedge pattern or permitted to augment into a tree with a size of 30 feet or more at maturity. Dense foliage, little blossoms and delicious purple crop give it three-season concern in the subtropical dwelling landscape. Podocarpus is sturdy, infection resistant and has no difficulty with contamination, producing it a perfect tree or hedge in built-up areas. Plant podocarpus in full sun to lightweight shadow in moist, sandy dirt for best results.
   
   • Find a location for podocarpus apt for the form and density of foliage you want. A full sun setting will make exceedingly dense, deep green foliage, while lighter in the shade localities will outcome in a loose, open pattern and smaller density of leaves.
   
   • Dig a little aperture at the location with a shovel. Fill a bucket with water and dispense half of it in the hole. If it isn't gone in 15 minutes, change a cubic-yard locality of dirt for each podocarpus with identical components peat and sand to advance drainage.
   
   • Dig a cultivating aperture that is two times the diameter of the origin ball and just as deep. Pour half a bucket of water in the cultivating aperture to assist decrease transplant shock.
   
   • Work the canister away from the origin ball of the podocarpus without tugging on its trunk. Cut the canister away with a pointed blade, if necessary. Work coiled or pot-bound origins loose with your appendages until they suspend down freely.
   
   • Set the podocarpus in the cultivating aperture and adapt with dirt until the origin crest is somewhat overhead the dirt line. Backfill the aperture with dirt, pushing it solidly contrary to the origins to eradicate air spaces. Tamp the dirt down beside the trunk with your base, and complete with a bucket of water poured gradually over the origin zone.
