Description
Podocarpus totara ‘Matapouri Blue’ is a distinctive cultivar recognized for its striking blue-grey foliage. This slow-growing evergreen tree is highly versatile, easily clipped and shaped to suit a variety of sizes and forms, making it an outstanding choice for hedging, screening, or as a formal specimen.
In mid-spring to early summer, ‘Matapouri Blue’ produces yellow-green catkins, providing an important pollen source for bees and supporting local pollinators. Like its parent species, it is hardy, adaptable, and well-suited to a range of landscape settings.
Native to New Zealand, Podocarpus totara ‘Matapouri Blue’ originated in Matapouri Bay, Northland, where it was first selected for its unique foliage color and ornamental appeal.
