Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A most attractive large shrub to small tree, which was shared with us by the University of California at Santa Cruz Arboretum. This cross between two striking podocarps has attractive sprays of densely held, 1” needles edged a light cream color, enhancing the texture. Prefers summer water in dry areas, but is otherwise at home in any well drained soil in sun to dappled shade. Appears to be frost hardy at least to 15 °F, mid USDA Zone 8, but certainly might tolerate lower temperatures.
