    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The hardiest of the podocarps, this alpine totara, a Univeristy of California at Santa Cruz collection from Mt. Ruapehu on New Zealand's North Island, is a small, bushy shrub, slow-growing to 3 ft tall and up to 6 ft wide, with dense, needle-like, green foliage that turns an exquisite bronze in winter. Happy growing over walls or banks -- even in containers, in sun to shade where soil is well-drained. Summer drought tolerant once established. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7.
