just planted this past weekend

[@ashleighscott9896]

I need more evergreens in my front yard, this might be the winner.

[@JimPutnam]

It really is a striking plant. Thanks for watching.

Jim, are you familiar with a product called Root Blast? If so, what’s your opinion of it?

[@GardenObsessions]

Oh this is so pretty! We have two can’t remember variety. Beautiful!💚💚💚💚💚💚

[@ernestguzman4962]

Striking! But I’m guessing dappled shade would be best in Central Texas

[@manava87]

Thanks Jim. If I wanted to do a tight podocarpus privacy screen between myself and a neighbor how far apart should I plant?

[@ShohelDjayaBonsai]

what is a good media soil planting podocarpus..?

[@affinity3281]

Don't know if you respond to comments but can you recommend a similar looking tree for zone 6? I'm in CT, higher elevation. It does get windy.

[@us3647]

Could this be a foundation plant? Just watched some of your other videos and realized that the house I moved into has both Ligustrum and Chindo Viburnum planted right up against the house, all the way around, which you advised against. Also could those ligustrums, and viburnums be transplanted elsewhere? They are around six years old. Thanks in advance. Love your videos, so very helpful!

[@JimPutnam]

Yes, it would make a great corner piece.

[@martincreation]

Thank you for the great video, Jim! What's the annual growth rate of this Roman Candle Podocarpus?

[@JimPutnam]

Slow the first couple of years and then maybe a foot a year. More if it's happy

[@mloiaco]

What’s the reason this needs to be full sun? What will happen if it’s in partial shade?

[@JimPutnam]

It will be thinner reaching for the light. Probably needs some direct sun every day

[@jamesmcinnis208]

I have my podocarpus 'Roman Candle' growing in dappled shade. It's dense, robust, and healthy with beautiful color in the variegation.

[@maiyang6690]

Jim where can I find this plant?

[@JimPutnam]

This one is so new that it is in short supply. I think it will a lot more available in 2021. Try Plantsbymail

[@lukerobson4962]

I found this at Garden Treasures in Wendell, NC
