From “all things bonsai“, “The Podocarpus is an evergreen tree with stiff, thick foliage similar to Yew trees and an upright growth habit. The most commonly found species used in bonsai is Podocarpus Microphylla. Podocarpus Buddhist Pine Bonsai Care for these evergreen oriental bonsai trees.
In the wild, it forms a stately tree commonly around forty feet high but with the capacity to get taller than this. When growing in full sun the foliage is very dense though it also grows in shaded positions.
It is found throughout Japan, China and other parts of eastern Asia.
In bonsai, it a most frequently found in the informal upright style and in small groups. It also lends itself to formal upright, slanting, semi-cascade, twin-trunk, triple-truck and clasped to rock.”
