Podocarpus lawrencei (syn. p.alpinus) 'RED TIP' Tasmanian podocarp, mountain plum-pine
Podocarp will grow in many soil types of any pH, but best results can be expected in humus-rich, deep soil. Never let it dry out - it is heat tolerant but requires constant moisture, not wet ground. We grow it in partially clay soil and it does well, just growing slower. Plant it in full sun or partial sun, it dislikes absence of direct sunlight. It is very hardy and rated absolutely trouble free to -25°C (USDA zone 6), yet some sources recommend a simple form of winter protection in colder zones. However, as the plant protects itself by transferring the chlorophyll to the roots, leaving the needles reddish brown, it does not sound like a must unless colder temperature is forecast.
