Podocarpus totara (Totara)

Podocarpus totara (Totara) is a premium evergreen conifer valued for its strong structural form, deep green foliage, and exceptional longevity. Native to New Zealand, it develops a dense, upright habit that makes it ideal for hedging, screening, or as a standout feature tree in both modern and traditional landscapes. Its fine, leathery leaves give it a refined texture that holds year-round appeal.

This is a highly durable and low-maintenance plant that thrives once established, making it a favourite for both residential and commercial plantings. It tolerates pruning exceptionally well, allowing it to be shaped into formal hedges or left to grow naturally into a stately specimen tree. Its resilience, adaptability, and elegant appearance make it a long-term investment for any landscape.
