Description
Podocarpus laetus is a close relative of Podocarpus totara, distinguished by its longer juvenile leaves and its thin, flaky, paper-like bark. This evergreen native of New Zealand is an excellent choice for hedging, offering both resilience and aesthetic appeal.
In mid-spring to early summer, Podocarpus laetus produces yellow-green catkins that serve as a valuable source of pollen for bees, supporting local pollinator populations. With its attractive form and adaptability, it makes a versatile addition to both native and ornamental plantings.
