Podocarpus henkelii - Long Leafed Yellowwood

Market price from $164.99 to $349.99

Podocarpus henkelii is an impressive evergreen tree that hails from South Africa. Known more commonly as the Long Leafed Yellowwood, this graceful giant can stretch its regal silhouette up to 60 feet toward the sky. The tree's elegance is accentuated by its unique foliage—long, slender leaves that hang in a drooping fashion, creating a textured canvas of lush blue-green. Stand beneath its canopy and you'll find yourself amid a sea of tapering leaves, each one reaching up to 12 inches in length. In spring, the Long Leafed Yellowwood discreetly blossoms with miniature yellow flowers, which later give way to the tree's red, wildlife-attracting fruits. What's more, this striking beauty is not just a feast for the eyes—it's also suitably hardy, requiring only a moderate amount of water and thriving in full sun to partial shade. Regardless of your garden's climate or soil type, the Long Leafed Yellowwood offers a low-maintenance way to inject a touch of majesty and verticality into its surroundings.
